[Jiangsu cuisine] - Huaiyang lion head

"Lion head" is a traditional dish of Huaiyang cuisine in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. It is said that the original name was sunflower chop meat and sunflower meatball, which was later renamed lion head. According to different seasons, the lion's head is made of 60% lean meat and 40% fat meat or 7% lean and 3% fat meat, chopped into meat paste with ingredients such as onions, ginger and eggs, and made into fist sized meatballs, which are fat but not greasy.The cooking of the lion head dish attaches great importance to fire skill. Simmer it over low heat for more than 40 minutes. In this way, it will be fat but not greasy and melt in the mouth. Yangzhou lion head has three cooking methods: stewing, steaming and braising.I cooked this dish with clear stew, which can also be called "clear stewed lion head". The reason why I named it "Huaiyang lion head" was based on the characteristics of Huaiyang cuisine.Huaiyang cuisine stresses fresh ingredients; Fine workmanship; Light taste; original.This dish I choose is skinless streaky pork, because it is summer, so the proportion of fat and thin is 3 fat and 7 thin; The workmanship adopts fine cutting and coarse chopping. First, cut the meat into small pieces - chop a little - smash it with the back of the knife, and then season it - throw the stuffing - put it into the pot - simmer it.The lion's head cooked with the method of fine cutting and coarse chopping tastes soft and tender, and melts immediately in the mouth; If you use the meat ground by the cooking machine to cook, the taste of the lion's head becomes very powerful. Q is full of energy.In this way, I named this delicately cooked lion's head "Huaiyang lion's head"!
