Step 1
The price of pork has become much cheaper recently. Let’s add some meat to the lotus root balls today. Let’s cut it into small pieces first, and then use a meat grinder to beat it into meat fillings.Step 2
1 Summary: Peel the lotus root and rub it directly with a plane to make lotus root puree. The meatballs made in this way have a more delicate texture and are more like meatballs with whole meat;Step 3
After rubbing, pour all the meat and pork into a large bowl, add a handful of green onion and ginger to enhance the flavor, then a spoonful of salt, half a spoonful of sugar,A little chicken essence and pepper, a spoonful of light soy sauce, a spoonful of oyster sauce, a spoonful of starch, and finally an egg, stir for a while to make the meat filling strong, so that the meatballs will not easily fall apart when cooked, and there is moisture in the lotus root paste. Yes, the meat filling will be a little thin, but it doesn’t matter;Step 4
Now let’s knead the meatballs. When the water in the pot is hot, cook the meatballs. Cook slowly over low heat so that the meatballs will not fall apart.Step 5
Add another two spoons of light soy sauce, a spoonful of dark soy sauce, a spoonful of oyster sauce, a handful of Sichuan peppercorns, and a few star anise, cinnamon and bay leaves to add flavor, cover with a lid and cook until the soup dries up;Step 6
There is still a little meat filling left, let’s make one of my favorite pearl meatballs. The kneaded meatballs are placed directly into the glutinous rice that has been soaked for an hour in advance. Roll it around so that the meatballs are covered with glutinous rice, and then put them directly into the On the plate, the white and plump pearl meatballs are also ready.Step 7
Then steam it in a pot and it will be ready for 40 minutes over high heat;Step 8
Then we prepare a piece of soft tofu and put it directly into the bowlStep 9
Add 2 eggs and a spoonful of salt, stir well and pour directly onto the tofu, steam in a steamer for 20 minutes and then take it out;Step 10
I also bought oyster mushrooms, cut them into small florets, washed them and blanched them in water. After the water boiled, add the oyster mushrooms and blanch them for 1 minute, then take them out and let them cool, then squeeze out the water slightly;Step 11
Heat oil in a pan, add minced ginger, garlic and dried chili pepper and sauté until fragrant. Add oyster mushrooms and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add a spoonful of chicken essence with a little salt to taste. Add a handful of garlic sprouts before serving and stir-fry until fragrant. It’s ready to be plated;Step 12
Heat some more oil in the pot, and let's fry the minced meat. This is some minced meat that I didn't use up when making dumplings for breakfast. The seasonings are all ready. Just add some dark soy sauce for color. Once it's cooked, it's ready. Pot;Step 13
The meatballs in the pot are also cooked until there is only a little bit of soup left, and the color has been marinated. Just take them out and put them on a plate. I didn't fry the lotus root meatballs or wrap them in marinade, so they were boiled. Super soft and tasty, healthy and delicious;Step 14
At this time, the tofu in the steamer is also steamed. After taking it out, spread the fried minced meat directly on top, garnish with some chopped green onions, and the minced meat, egg and tofu soup is ready to serve, with a fresh and tender texture. Four words are perfect to describe it;Step 15
The pearl meatballs were also ripe at this time, and I could smell the fragrance as soon as I opened the lid. I felt like I could eat several in one go. I was so greedy;Step 16
