Steamed meatball is a Cantonese dim sum dish.[1] It is popular in Hong Kong and most overseas Chinatowns. The meatball is made of beef, and usually has a tofu skin layer in the bottom, garnished with some vegetables like scallions. It is served with Worcestershire sauce worldwide. The sauce in Hong Kong is known as kip zap (喼汁; Yale: gip3 jap1), and is entirely optional.[2]
