Tips:
1. For chicken, it is best to remove the fascia in advance, so that the mud will be more delicate and will not be entangled on the mixing head. In addition, chicken can also be chopped by hand, which is not too much trouble. I'm lazy, so I use a blender;
2. The tofu should be blanched with boiling water first, which can remove part of the beany smell and prevent too much water;
3. The mashed meat is best to be beaten to the highest strength, so that the meatballs will not break easily when they are blanched, and the taste will be good;
4. When blanching the balls, the water should not boil, and it should be heated on a low fire to prevent the balls from breaking. If you are afraid of stickiness, you can dip some water on the spoon and then dig the meat puree;
5. After the meatballs are ready, if you don't eat them right away, they can be kept in a tightly sealed and refrigerated after cooling, or they can be put into the filtered soup. If it is put in the soup, it is best to add some salt to the soup to prevent the salt of the balls from being diluted by the soup.
