About the dish

Pork ball is a meatball made with ground pork and starch, while cuttlefish is sometimes added to the combination in order to add flavor and impart a chewy texture to the meatballs. These chewy meatballs are popular in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. In Taiwan, pork balls are usually served in a soup known as gongwan tang , and in the Taiwanese city of Hsinchu, there is an annual festival dedicated solely to these delicious meatballs.
