braised lion head
Lion's head is actually a big meatball. This dish can be said to be a dish in our Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. It is usually not too troublesome to make, but during the New Year, we have to make some.
There are steamed lion heads, and there are also fried and braised ones. What I made this time is fried.

    1. It is best to use 3 parts fat and 7 parts lean meat, cut with a knife, rather than stir with a machine. 2. When making meatballs, it will be easy to touch some water in your palm. 3. You can also add five-spice powder. 4. Yams play a loosening role, and must not be less, you can also put water chestnuts. 5. When frying, be careful not to splash water into the oil pan.
