Tips:
Super long-winded
1. In Chinese-style meals, the amount of seasoning is not as standard as Western-style, and can be adjusted according to your own taste, so there is no definite amount
2. The amount of meat is also according to your own preferences. If you like fat, you can add more fat, but lean meat will be too much.
3. A little trick to make the lion’s head taste tender and smooth. When mixing meat filling, you can mix in as much water as possible and add a little bit.
4. I don't recommend using MSG, just add a little chicken essence when mixing the meat, or not. Winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms. Fungus, ham. They are all fresh ingredients, so you don’t need to add these bad seasonings,
