4. Cook Until Done:

   • Steam the chicken balls for approximately 10 minutes or until they are thoroughly cooked. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick or a skewer into the center of a ball; it should come out clean without any pink color.

5. Cool and Serve:

   • Once cooked, remove the steamer from heat and allow the chicken balls to cool slightly. Transfer them to a serving platter and serve warm as a delightful appetizer or a flavorful addition to your favorite dishes.

6. Storage Tip:

   • If you have leftovers, allow the chicken balls to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. Simply reheat before serving for a quick and delicious meal or snack.
