The lion head is called Sixi meatballs in the north, and it is indispensable at every wedding banquet, but the Sixi meatballs at the wedding banquet I have never tasted good. It is nothing more than a hard big meatball made of meat, which is fried and steamed in advance. Before serving the dish, heat it up in the steamer and put it on the plate before adding the juice. I think this is the reason why everyone goes to the wedding banquet from sending out chopsticks to leaving the table so quickly. I feel that I have never eaten enough before holding my chopsticks. I don't know which dish to go to. It looks pretty good, and I really don't want to swallow it when I eat it in my mouth.

My family likes to eat lion's head, especially the braised one, which melts in the mouth and is so soft that you can't stop it. Every time I go to the vegetable market to buy food, I like to go to the butcher’s shop, and I will buy it when I see good pork belly, because my lion head is made of pork belly, and I have to make two replays every month in the refrigerator. Refrigerate or freeze. When eating, one or two lion heads with soup and some small greens with a bowl of rice is a very tasty, quick and easy meal.

Many years ago, I made braised lion heads at my husband’s house and fell in love with them. Later, my grandson would often take my fried lion heads to his home to cook for my parents. But later my in-laws got older and feared all kinds of fats. Pay great attention to eating. They make lion heads and don’t let fat meat. Put some plum meat at most, so the taste will be much worse. So I put some tofu to make it softer. Fortunately, they did it for them. It is also willing to sacrifice some taste and taste for the health in the concept.

In fact, the lion head is called lion head because it uses diced meat cut from fat and thin meat. After cooking, the fat softens so much that the surface of the big meatball is uneven like a lion head. Only lean meat is chopped into puree to make smooth big balls, which can only be called big balls. For those children who look at the fat and don’t eat it, I suggest that parents cook them with braised lion’s head. The pork belly is cut into cubes. It is delicious and the fat is not visible. The children will love it. I have seen one Introduce that children eat some fatty meat is puzzle, don’t be intimidated by the accent that fatty meat and lard are harmful to the body, in the early years when there was a shortage of materials, which one did not have a lard jar, when cooking and stewing Put it in to increase the fragrance. At that time, I didn't see so many patients now. Of course, it doesn't mean to eat meat uncontrollably. The diet must be a combination of meat and vegetables. When I cook braised lion's head, I also put some small vegetables in the end.

The lion’s head has a soft taste and melts in the mouth. Apart from the long stewing time, the most important reason is that it needs more fat, and it needs to be finely chopped and coarsely chopped. Minced meat or mashed meat should not be used. For the grains, just chop a few coarsely.

7. Then mix the starch with a little bit of water to form a thick starch paste and pour it in the same direction and stir evenly. You don't need to smash the meat, because the lion's head that comes out is not soft enough;

8. Take a ball of minced meat, turn the left and right hands into round balls, and put them in a tray. I eat them by myself in order to shorten the stewing time, but the balls are not big. If it’s for looking good, you can make 4 per pound of meat, which is more imposing and more like a lion head;

11. Take out a few of the fried lion heads (the rest can be chilled and preserved, or you can simmer them all at once. The soup can be divided into small portions to refrigerate or freeze, and add some greens when you eat), put it in a casserole or soup pot, The water is less than the lion's head, because the soup is very delicious after cooking, so put all the seasonings in the soup;

12. Bring to a boil over high heat and taste it. The soup is slightly salty and the aftertaste is slightly sweet. Change the heat to keep slightly bubbling and then simmer for at least 2 hours. If it is large, it is best to cook for more than 3 hours. , The stewed time is longer and the taste is softer. You can use an electric rice cooker to stew. You don't need to worry about it when you switch to the heat preservation position after boiling. You can turn it on after 5 hours, or put it in the rice cooker before going to bed at night.

13. When eating, you can put a handful of rapeseed (green cabbage) or the baby cabbage torn into strips and boil it softly. The soup is also very delicious. You can also take out the lion head and put it in a deep dish. Take some soup and put starch water to make one. Just pour the thicker broth.
