Like the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner table, there must be a ball. Of course, we are here called Yuanzi, which means reunion. During the Chinese New Year, we used to have fried meatballs. The fried meatballs can be eaten immediately or placed in the first dish. (The first dish is the first dish of the New Year’s Eve dinner) If you are tired of eating meatballs, add lotus root to the meat to make lotus root balls, which are also deep-fried before firing. But it is less greasy and more sweet than lotus root.
