Prepare the meatball mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, finely chopped scallions, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, white pepper, granulated sugar, and salt.

Mix thoroughly: Using your hands, mix all the ingredients together until well combined and the mixture feels slightly sticky. Do not overmix.

Shape the meatballs: Lightly wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the pork mixture and roll it into a smooth, approximately 1 1/2-inch ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used, yielding about 10 meatballs.

Coat and garnish: Place the potato starch in a shallow dish. Roll each shaped meatball in the potato starch until it is fully coated on all sides. Gently press one frozen green pea into the top center of each coated meatball for garnish.

Prepare the steamer: Line a bamboo steamer basket with parchment paper, cabbage leaves, or a non-stick steamer mat to prevent sticking. Fill a pot or wok with 1 to 2 inches of water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.

Steam the meatballs: Arrange the coated meatballs in a single layer in the prepared steamer basket, ensuring there is a little space between each one. Place the steamer basket over the boiling water, cover tightly, and steam for 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and firm.

Serve: Carefully remove the steamed meatballs from the steamer. Serve them hot, accompanied by small bowls of soy sauce and yellow mustard for dipping, if desired.
