braised lion head

braised lion head
Lion's head is one of the most popular Huaiyang dishes.
Lion's head is big meat in Yangzhou dialect, and it is called "big meatballs" or "Sixi meatballs" in northern dialect. The pork rib meat of Fat Seven and Lean Three is chopped into pomegranate grains and made into meatballs. After stewing over low heat, the fat meat on the surface of the meatballs is mostly melted but not all melted. The lean meat appears relatively convex, giving people a feeling of rough hair. It feels like a lion's head because the meatballs are big and the surface is rough.
