Regarding the "lion head", it is said that its "distant ancestor" is the "jumping pill roast" recorded in the "Shi Jing" of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and its previous life was the sunflower cut meat created by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty after his travels to the south of the Yangtze River. The unique name "Lion Head" was really obtained at the banquet of the Tang dynasty Xun Guogong.
The most common method of lion head is braised or steamed, and the crab noodle lion head in Huaiyang cuisine is a classic delicacy. This dish has a long history, and the poet of the Song Dynasty said: "However, if you pair one loin with two crabs, there are really Yangzhou cranes in the world." Comparing eating crabs and cutting meat to a happy fairy who "rides a crane down to Yangzhou", we can see how delicious and tempting the dish of crab noodles and lion head is.
Xu Ke clearly stated in "Qing Barnyard Notes": "The lion head is named after its similarity, and the pork is round. The pork is half fat and thin. It is finely chopped and chopped with egg white to make it easy to solidify, or add shrimp, Crab noodles.” Based on this recipe, supplemented with the help of modern cooking technology, the combination of freshness and plumpness is seamless.
