I ate Xiu Mai sandwich walking to school every morning when I was young and in Pakse.

Yesterday, my little sister ask me to make it for her and give her instruction so I start writing it down. Little sister didn't have the advantage of cooking with mom to learn like I did. She never showed interest before because someone else cooks for her when she wants to eat. Now that she has a young family...

Here's the ingredients that I am sharing with my LS friends because you are like family hahaha!

Xiu Mai(meatball)
2-2.5 lbs pork shoulder grounded
1/2 white onion chopped
1/2 white yam (jicama) chopped
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 TBSP sugar
2 tsp salt
1 tsp topica flour
2 TBSP cooking wine

Mixing all ingredients, divide to two parts
For Chinese meatball: add green peas or carrot into balls.
Roll mixture into balls and place in small rice bowl for steaming.
Add a slice of Chinese sausage to the top middle of the ball for fragrant and aroma.

For Viet meatball: add tomato sauce
Roll mixture into small balls and place in large steam bowl.
tomato paste, chopped fresh tomato, chicken broth and topica flour to thicken then put over steam meatballs
