"Lion head" is a famous dish in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It can be divided into braised, stewed and steamed. "Lion head", as the name implies, requires a slightly larger head when making it and resembles a lion head. When operating, use your hands to handle it. The minced meat feels elastic when reunited, but it also has a mottled convex and concave feeling after the finished product, so that it looks like a lion head. The size of the meatballs should be no less than four per catty of raw materials.
"Lion head" is not called a lion head if the skin is smooth. Therefore, this requires attention to the selection of materials, cutting and matching, operation techniques and the strength when beating minced meat. In fact, it's also very simple. As long as the link is mastered, everyone can make a delicious lion head.
The flavors of "lion head" are also divided into minced meat lion head, sanxian lion head, crab noodle lion head, seafood lion head, surimi lion head and so on. However, no matter what kind of preparation is made, it must be mixed with at least 50% minced meat. You must not choose meat when making lion heads. It must be cut with a knife. The size of the particles should not exceed 3-5 mm, and the particles should be cut evenly. For meat, you can use pork neck or notoginseng pork, which means that pork is 30% fat and 70% lean. It is best to cut the fat and thin pieces separately and then mix and stir. This is the characteristic of making lion heads. Because the fat must shrink during frying, steaming or stewing, so that the convex and concave shape of the lion’s head is highlighted, and the senses have the feeling of a lion’s head. If the selected meat is fat and thin, the layers are very distinct, and the texture is not good enough to cut the fat and thin separately, or they can be mixed and cut into pellets, but this is only a family practice, and it is advisable to cut them separately in the hotel.
Today I made a steamed lion head called "steamed surimi lion head". Half of the pork and half of the fish are used in it, and the fish is made of pure scorpion fish, which can be bought in these markets. To save trouble, I use mixed family practices. The main recipes for this dish are as follows;"

Tips:

The characteristics of this dish: the color is light and beautiful, the mouth is smooth and tender, the meatballs are extremely delicious, the water chestnuts are crisp and tasty, the soup is clear and delicious, and the aftertaste is endless. This light dish is most suitable for spring consumption. Whether it is served with rice or banquet, it is a good family-made product.



Tips;

1. The key to this dish is filling. After adding cornstarch, it must be beaten until the glue is elastic. Don't use too much cornstarch, just use no more than 10%. Adding a little cornstarch will make the taste smoother.

2. When blending the green onion and ginger water, add a few drops of Shao wine and add some water, and then repeatedly scratch the onion and ginger with your hands to make the juice and flavor overflow. Remember, do not put particles such as chopped green onion and ginger in the filling.

3. For broth, it is best to use chicken broth or bone broth. If not, you can blend it by yourself according to the above method and taste good. Concentrated chicken broth tastes better than chicken essence, and the price is more than ten yuan a small bottle.
