Huizhou meatballs

Huizhou meatballs
"Huizhou Meatballs" is one of the authentic Anhui cuisine varieties. The finished product has well-proportioned grains and a shiny color. The meatballs are white and taste delicious. They are soft and nutritious. They are very suitable for the tastes of the elderly and children. Because the glutinous rice adhered to the meatballs is transparent and shaped like pearls, it is also called pearl meatballs. Because its dishes were widely spread in Huizhou and are a common local folk dish, they are called Huizhou meatballs in the Huizhou recipe.

Anhui cuisine is good at cooking, steaming, stewing, etc., and pays attention to fire; it is characterized by large sauce and heavy oil, simple and affordable, good at maintaining the original flavor, and very popular among diners. Huizhou meatballs are the most typical steamed dish in Anhui cuisine. They are also a very affordable and simple home-cooked dish. Because of their ordinary ingredients and simple preparation, they are actually a common dish on people's tables and are deeply loved by people. I like to give it a try when I have nothing to do on Sundays. It can cultivate the taste of cooking and taste the delicious food of life, making it the best of both worlds.
