Pearl balls, also known as Yinyi balls, are a famous snack of the Han nationality in Mianyang (now Xiantao City), Hubei Province. Its unique flavor, delicate fragrance, fresh fragrance and delicious. I believe that many people have seen and eaten pearl balls. They are filled with fat and thin pork belly and wrapped in a layer of glutinous rice. They are steamed in a pot. The snow-white balls are crystal clear, and they are soft and glutinous. They are very delicious and meaty. The fragrance and the elastic teeth of glutinous rice are unforgettable. Of course, what we are going to do here is the cute children's version-panda glutinous rice balls. Moms and babies can also use their imagination to make other shapes, such as lamb, For kittens, etc., you can also add shiitake mushrooms, horseshoes, etc. to the filling, but don’t add soy sauce for the sake of appearance. Although the pearl balls are so delicious that you can’t stop them, you can’t let your children eat too much at once, but glutinous rice. Too much is not easy to digest. Too much fat is not good for the growth and development of the child. If the pearl balls are made of pure lean meat, they will taste very woody, and the rice will be hard and not tasty. Choose three-point fat and seven-point lean meat. It is more appropriate. This is for a family of three. Try to avoid eating at night, and remember to exercise more. "

Ingredients

【shandong】panda Pearl Balls

1. Prepare the ingredients.

2. The glutinous rice should be soaked for more than 4 hours in advance (soaking it overnight is better).

3. Wash pork belly and cut into small pieces.

4. Put the meat into the wall breaker.

5. Add green onions, ginger, salt, and shiitake mushroom powder.

6. Wait until the hit is very delicate.

7. Pour the water out of the soaked glutinous rice, scoop out a little bit of the mashed meat with a spoon, and it will be about the same size by visual inspection.

8. A layer of glutinous rice is evenly adhered to the mashed meat, and the mashed meat can also be dipped in water to form a ball and then stick glutinous rice.

9. Put corn husks in the steamer, and put glutinous rice balls on the corn husks to prevent sticking.

10. Put it in a steamer and steam it on medium heat for about 20 minutes.

11. Use a panda mold to press out the seaweed (you can use scissors to cut the seaweed without a mold, or you can make other shapes).

12. Finally, paste it on the balls.

Tips:
If glutinous rice is soaked overnight, it is better to wrap glutinous rice as much as possible without leaving any gaps. The meatballs will be full and beautiful. If there is no corn husk, you can put carrot slices underneath to prevent sticking. My method is improved according to the child’s taste, not the most Authentic but definitely the cutest. The wall-breaking machine can beat the onion and ginger until it is delicate and can not be eaten. If it is a cooking machine, it is recommended to use onion and ginger water, because most children do not like to eat onion and ginger, mothers meat You can also add your favorite condiments, but try to put them as little as possible, the original flavor is the most healthy.
