About Dimsum beef ball

Dimsum Beef Ball is a popular steamed delicacy originating from Cantonese cuisine, often served as part of a traditional Chinese dim sum meal. These savory bites are crafted from finely ground beef, typically mixed with garlic, ginger, dried orange peel, and spices to enhance their flavor. Egg white or cornstarch is often added to create a smooth texture, and water chestnuts may provide a subtle crunch. Steaming retains moisture while minimizing added oils, making this dish a lower-fat option compared to fried alternatives. Beef is a rich source of protein, iron, and B vitamins, supporting muscle health and energy production. However, these meatballs may be high in sodium due to the soy sauce and seasonings, so moderation is advised for those watching their salt intake. Pairing them with steamed vegetables or light dipping sauces can enhance their nutritional balance while still enjoying their delectable taste.
