Instructions

Making the Fish Balls:

1. In a large bowl, mix the finely chopped fish, egg white, cornstarch, soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, grated ginger, green onions, salt, and white pepper.
2. Mix until well combined and slightly sticky.
3. With wet hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

5. Remove the fish balls with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Making the Lobster Sauce:

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the ground pork and cook until it is no longer pink, breaking it up into small pieces.
3. Add the garlic, ginger, and green onions. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add the chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, and sugar. Bring to a boil.
5. Add the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce, stirring constantly.
6. Once the sauce has thickened, slowly drizzle in the beaten egg, stirring constantly to create ribbons of egg in the sauce.
7. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
8. Add the cooked fish balls to the sauce and gently stir to coat them.

Serving:
