[Yangzhou] Stewed Lion Head

1. Prepare the ingredients

2. Peel and wash the pork leg meat, cut it into strips first, then cut it into pieces as big as pomegranate seeds, and finally chop it a few times

3. Peel, wash, and chop lotus roots (small particles are sufficient), or use water chestnuts or bamboo shoots

4. Scallion and ginger powder

Pour 20g of water into 5.10g of corn starch and mix well

6. Put the chopped pork and lotus root into a larger container, while adding salt, chopped scallions, ginger, eggs, and white pepper. Finally, mix the starch and water evenly before pouring in

7. Stir in one direction with your hands and occasionally beat the meat filling. If the meat filling is dry, you can add an appropriate amount of water, but not too thin, to prevent the lion's head from forming easily

8. Stir until the meat filling is a bit sticky, don't use too much force, otherwise the lion's head will be harder and the taste will not be good

9. Pour half a pot of clear water into the casserole, and then heat the water, turning off the fire at about 50 degrees (this is conducive to the rapid shaping of Rice-meat dumplings after being cooked, and is not easy to spread). Grab some meat fillings, roll them back and forth with two hands to form a round and smooth lion's head, and then gently put them into hot water (the water should be no more than Rice-meat dumplings)

10. After all the lion heads are ready, cover them with a lid and turn to medium heat. After the pot is cooked, turn to low heat. At this point, the lion heads have already set and become somewhat hard. You can use chopsticks to gently push the bottom to prevent the lion heads from sticking to the pot

11. Remove the foam again

12. Pour in cooking wine and 1 box of special thick soup treasure for stewing (if not available, you can skip it)

13. Cover the pot, turn to the lowest heat, and simmer slowly over low heat for 2 hours

14. During the stewing of lion's head, you can treat the vegetable heart: wash the vegetable heart, blanch it in water for one minute, soak it in cold water for a while, and then remove it (this can make the color of the vegetable heart bluer)

15. Add goji berries when stewing for the last five minutes and continue stewing until the end of the time

16. Finally, put in the vegetable hearts and turn off the heat

17. Once served, you can enjoy it slowly
