Let's live, a classic Shaanxi specialty snack

1. Prepare the ingredients

2. Put Mantou in the refrigerator and refrigerate it for about 2 days, then crush it by hand and sieve it for use

3. Wash the scallions and ginger and chop them finely (the more finely chopped the better)

4. Put the meat filling into a large bowl, add chopped scallions and ginger, and mix evenly with chopsticks. (After buying the pork, you can directly ask the meat seller to help grind it into minced meat. If you are not afraid of trouble, you can take it home and chop it yourself or use a blender to crush it. Usually, you have to chop the meat at home. Recently, the weather is too hot, so if you are afraid of trouble, you can directly ask the hot seller to help grind it.)

5. Prepare 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites (egg yolks are put into another bowl separately for standby, which can be used to spread egg cakes)

6. Divide the eggs and egg mixture into portions and add them to the meat filling

7. Stir thoroughly with chopsticks or hands until the meat is in a starchy state

8. Add Mantou crumbs and proper amount of salt (do not add all of them at one time. After mixing, add according to the state of the meat filling. The mixed meat filling should not drip when picked up by hand. If the meat filling will drip, add Mantou crumbs. If it is too dry, add eggs)

9. Use your hands to mix evenly in one direction, cover with plastic wrap and set aside for later use

Mix 10.4 egg yolks and 1 whole egg into a bowl to make a uniform egg mixture. Add about 1g~2g of corn starch and a little water to mix evenly, then sieve

11. Turn on the gas stove, brush a little oil with a brush after the pot is heated, turn off the fire, then scoop a spoonful of egg liquid into the pot, hold up the handle of the pot and quickly shake a few, so that the egg liquid can be evenly spread out (no exposed holes, no rotten, preferably even thickness), turn on the gas stove again, and fry it in low heat until there is no obvious egg liquid on the surface of the egg cake. Turn off the fire

12. Put the prepared egg cake on a clean cutting board to cool, and spread the remaining egg cake in the same way

13. Stack a certain amount of meat filling in the middle of the egg cake, press it neatly, and then smear a little egg liquid around the egg cake

14. Knead the egg cake from both sides to the middle, and make sure to use egg liquid to knead at the closing, otherwise the egg cake is easy to spread

15. Gently pick up the meat roll and place it in a steamer lined with a steaming cloth

16. Open the gas stove and add an appropriate amount of water to the pot. After the water boils, put the steaming tray containing meat rolls in it and steam on high heat for about 30 minutes. Turn off the heat

17. Steam it and let it live. Cut it open while it's hot and ready to eat

18. If there are children at home, after cutting them open, use cookie molds to print heart-shaped and Mickey designs, which will please the children even more

If you don't like to eat it directly, it's also very delicious to boil it with tomatoes in soup!
