When it comes to pearl balls, everyone is familiar with it. This is a classic dish that is widely circulated. Pearl balls, also known as Yinyi balls, are a famous snack of the Han nationality in Mianyang, Hubei. The pearl balls have a unique flavor, delicate fragrance, and delicious flavor. They can be eaten directly or with dipping sauces.
Pearl balls are at the top of the Mianyang three steamed products. The selection of glutinous rice is very particular. The glutinous rice in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is not slender enough. It is necessary to use glutinous rice from Sichuan and Lianghu to make a good appearance. Because of its beautiful appearance, in addition to eating with the family, it is also very suitable for banquets at home.
Eating lotus root can nourish yin, clear away heat, moisturize dryness and quench thirst, and soothe the mind. I added lotus root to the meatballs, which is more nutritious, and the taste is more tender and crispy, which is especially suitable for consumption in the current season.
When we describe a good girl, we will say: This girl is not only beautiful, but also has a nice heart. I think the pearl balls have the qualities of a "good girl"-with a beautiful appearance and a simple heart. "On the outside, I look like an ordinary pearl ball. In fact, I am rich in my heart, and I am an extraordinary pearl ball." Who would not be moved by such a good ball?
