There is no meat without meat. Although everyone knows that eating too much meat is not good, but after the Chinese New Year, there is no decent food on the dinner table to entertain relatives and friends, and I feel that I am shameless. So this year, you must have delicious and beautiful dishes on the dinner table, but also eat healthy. Don't cause stomach upset due to overeating in the past few days. Today I bring you a steamed lion head made of pumpkin. It not only has the fragrance and tenderness of the meat, but also makes people shine because of the addition of pumpkin. The digestive function of the elderly children is not as strong as that of the young ones, and eating these balls to relieve gluttons does not increase the burden. My 76-year-old mother's blood sugar is a bit high, but she even ate two praises.

The lion head is just a good name for meatballs. Because of its large size and the convex surface, it resembles the big head of a lion, hence the name. The lion hair is golden, and the pumpkin is mixed in it to make it more vivid. The content of cobalt in pumpkin is very high, which has a good effect on curing diabetes and lowering blood sugar. Adding sugar when making the balls can improve the freshness, and pumpkin itself has a sweet taste, no additional sugar is needed; the vitamin C content is also high, which is helpful for delaying skin aging and increasing elasticity, and women can also eat more. The method of steaming does not require a drop of oil. Compared with the method of stir-frying and stewing, it is healthier. The fragrant and tender "golden lion head" is more popular.

Ingredients

380g Pork
120g Pumpkin
1 stage Green Onions
1 piece Ginger
Some Salt
2 tablespoons Starch
Some Cold Water

Steamed Golden Lion Head

1. Cut the fat and fat pork into 2 or 3 cm cubes;

2. Put the diced meat into a meat grinder and beat it into minced meat;

3. Cut a piece of green onion into thin shreds, cut ginger into thin shreds, soak in some cold water, pinch the green onion and ginger, and let stand for 10 minutes;

4. Peel the pumpkin, then shred, and finally cut into fine dices;

5. Add appropriate amount of salt and 2 tablespoons of starch to the meat filling, pour the green onion and ginger water into the meat filling gradually, and stir evenly in one direction;

6. Add the diced pumpkin to the minced meat and stir in one direction, as long as the minced meat does not fall apart;

7. Boil a pot of water, turn to a low heat when the water is boiled, dip your hands in water, pour an appropriate amount of meat filling between your hands, pour it into a smooth ball shape, and send it into the water;

8. After all the balls are in the water, keep them in a slightly boiling state for 2 minutes, and then remove the balls after they are shaped;

9. Put the meatballs into a large bowl. If there is chicken broth and bone broth, put it into a bowl and stew it together. The soup will taste more fresh. Put it in a steamer and turn to medium heat for 15 minutes.

10. Put a green cabbage core and pumpkin slices after the pan. The yellow and green are fresh and eye-catching. Salt can be added or not added according to the taste.

Tips:
1. There is no egg in the meat filling, so some starch is added to increase the stickiness; if you want to eat tender meatballs, just stir the meat filling in one direction slightly, and the filling is not loose; you want to eat Q-bomb meat For meatballs, you can use tapioca flour and stir the meat;
2. Steamed meatballs are more tender than boiled meatballs, and there is gravy oozing in the soup, which is very fresh; if you are particular, you can add chicken soup and steam together, which will be more delicious.
