Speaking of it, I don’t know if anyone is like me, there will always be a little broth or other soup left at home. Generally, it seems that it can only be used to cook noodles. This time, I just remembered that my baby likes to eat lion heads, so let's make it yourself. Last time I posted a recipe, someone complained that I was not the lion head fried by myself. What's so good about it. Okay, this time we even used the method of blowing lion heads together.

Ingredients

Lion's Head with Mushroom Gravy

1. Shred the steamed buns, soak in water until soft

2. Soak ginger slices and green onions together in hot water

3. Water chestnuts chopped

4. Mince pork, add salt, light soy sauce, oil consumption, five spice powder and mix well

5. Beat the stirred meat several times with your hands. When beating, add some ginger water

6. Then add the steamed bun puree softened by soaking in water

7. Add water chestnuts chopped

8. Stir into a uniform batter

9. Add oil to the pot and turn off the heat when it is bubbling

10. Knead into balls

Tips:
1. Don't add soy sauce to the meat of the lion head, otherwise it will be black when it is fried;
2. Steamed buns and water chestnuts are used to increase the taste of lion's head. If not, they can be replaced with starch, lotus root, and fried dough sticks.
3. Use the water for soaking mushrooms to stew meat, it is very fragrant, don't throw it away;
4. To fry lion heads, use medium and small fire, and the oil temperature should not be very hot.
