Chinese Dish #1: Braised Pork Balls in Soy Sauce

Hello, Steemians! I'm Bobo from China, you can also call me MisSweet!

Today I'd like to introduce a famous Chinese food called Braised Pork Balls in Soy Sauce. 

In China people used to call large pork meatballs lion's head(shi zi tou), so its past name is very interesting, Red Burned Lion's Head! To tell the truth, Braised Pork Balls in Soy Sauce is one of the most famous holiday recipes in China, and it’s known as Four-Joy Meatballs in some places.

The ingredients are very common: minced pork, egg, corn starch, onion and ginger. Usually we also add some green vegetables to balance the taste. The meatballs are very juicy and flavorful, and eating with rice is also addictive!

Here are some tips:

• Mix water into the meat to make a very tender patty.
• Add plenty of corn starch.
• Add some green vegetables such as youcai or Shanghai greens.

Have a good time!

大家好啊，我叫Bobo，你们也可以叫我甜小姐哦！

今天给大家介绍下红烧狮子头吧。

这应该算中国最著名的菜了，从前把它直译过去，变成了“红烧狮子的头”，特别有趣。逢年过节人们喜欢做这道菜，有些地方也叫“四喜丸子”。

原料很普通，猪绞肉、鸡蛋、玉米淀粉、洋葱和姜。通常还要加些绿叶菜来平衡口感。肉丸子鲜嫩多汁，和米饭同吃能上瘾哦！

几个小秘诀：

• 搅馅时放一些水，口感更嫩。
• 多放些淀粉。
• 放一些绿叶菜，如油菜或上海青。

马上要过年了，甜小姐先给大家拜个早年啦！
