Ingredients

Stewed Lion's Head

1. Cut the pork belly into slices, then cut into strips, and then cut into cubes, similar to the size of pomegranate seeds. Freeze the meat in the refrigerator before cutting it, which makes it easier to cut. After cutting, use a knife to slightly chop the meat filling. Don't chop for too long, just increase the viscosity of the meat. This is called fine-cutting and coarse-cutting.

It is best to use a grinder to grind ginger and onion froth into froth, or use a knife to cut them.

Tips:

It’s best to use pork belly to make lion head. If you don’t use pork belly, you should choose at least 50% fat. Don’t mince the meat. You have to cut it with a knife to make it delicious. After washing the pork, soak it in cold water for 2-3 hours, change the water twice halfway, and then cut it again, so that the blood can be soaked in the water and the fishy smell of the meat can be effectively removed.
