Sesame Beef Balls

In a bowl, combine the ground beef with the garlic, ginger, pepper, rice wine, soy sauce, egg, and the cornstarch. Pound the mixture into the sides of the bowl several times. This techniques helps to expel air, resulting in a sticky homogenous mixture. Divide the beef mixture to make about 18 meatballs.

In a wok, heat the oil to about 350 degrees F. Add about 6 meatballs at a time and deep-fry until golden brown. Remove and drain.

Mix the sauce ingredients together and set aside.

Drain off the oil from the wok, wipe out with a paper towel and pour the sauce mixture into the wok. Stir over low heat for a few seconds, then add the meatballs and sesame seeds to the sauce. Stir well for 1 minute for the sauce to coat the meatballs. Transfer the meatballs to a serving plate and serve.
