Braised Lion's Head is a traditional famous Huaiyang dish. I have loved it since I was young. When I was young, I lacked supplies and could only enjoy it during festivals. It also has a very auspicious name called Sixi Meatballs. Such a lovable name allows it to often appear on the family's festive tables, making childhood happier.
After I started a family, I stayed alone in this city with LG. I couldn't help but miss my family and miss the lively reunion dinner when I was a child. Whenever I was a child, I would like to cook this dish again. I can always feel it in my mouth. The warmth of home can also relive the joy of childhood.

1. It is best to chop the meat filling with a knife, which tastes better than the meat grinder. 2. After adding other seasonings such as chopped onions and ginger, stir the meat filling clockwise so that the meatballs will be more fragrant. 3. You can also add a small amount of lotus root or water chestnut to the meat filling. 4. Don't flip the meatballs often, wait until the meatballs are fried hard before flipping, otherwise the meatballs will fall apart.
