Tips:
1. The ratio of fat to lean is best to be 3; 7, of course, if you don’t want to eat too fat, 2; 8 is also ok, too thin and tastes bad.
2. If there is no lotus root, you can use yam, water chestnut, etc.
3. If you don’t have time to cut meat, you can buy ready-made minced meat, but the taste will be compromised.
