Instructions

In a medium bowl add water to rice. Swish around and disburse the milky substance. Drain and add more cold water repeating several times or until water is clear. Cover rice with cold water and let sit for 2 hours (or overnight). Drain and spread rice on a baking sheet. Pat with paper towels to soak up the extra moisture.
In a medium bowl add the pork, egg, ginger, sugar, soy sauce, oil, salt and pepper. Mix well and then fold in green onions. Roll into 1 inch meatballs and then roll in the rice.
Place in a steamer (you may need to cook in batches) and steam for 20 minutes. Serve with hoisin sauce.

Notes

Ground chicken, turkey or beef will also work in this recipe although the flavor will be different with each meat.
