Yiqian Meatballs
I am a child who grew up in an ancient town in Guangchang, Jiangxi Province.
The meatballs made by grandma were the most beautiful dreams of our four siblings when they were children.
I often eat until I am full and feel that I will earn something if I am full.
We were the happiest when we were raised by grandma. And my meatballs, my home, are the beautiful paradise in my memories.
Now, teach it to everyone and hope everyone likes it.

    It's time to cook, prepare chopsticks ~ In fact, if you want to know whether it is cooked, there is a unique trick. That is, when you open the lid and see that the meatballs are 5 to 6 times the original size, you can start eating. But when they meet air, they retract. Too much steam will affect the shooting effect. PS. If this is your first time making it, you might as well stick one with chopsticks and try it, and you will be sure.
