This is a confinement dish and also a common dish that we use to cook at home cos’ it is so easy to prepare with only a few ingredients. The meatballs and gravy are very tasty and aromatic, goes well with rice or porridge. Sometimes, we would add in blanched pig liver and kidneys. If you don't like innards, then adding fried eggs is a good option too.
The original recipe from the book Nyonya Flavours uses chicken [see my earlier post] which I replaced with minced pork.
