Meatballs, that is, meatballs with meat, are usually cooked with meat stuffing wrapped in a thin leather bag. Wrapped in thin leather bags, they can better lock the nutrition and delicacy of meat and make it more tender and delicious. Meatballs are available all over the country, and the methods are different. Epidermal materials: taro, starch, shrimp oil and salt stuffing materials: fresh pork, onion, soy sauce, salt, shrimp skin, mushrooms, ginger and edible oil. Manufacturing technology 1. Stuffing: Choose the best fresh pork (mostly pork belly in Jiaocheng street shops), wash and chop it up and put it in a bowl. Prepare soy sauce to make the meat deep red (mainly for color matching and seasoning). According to the concentration and dosage of soy sauce, add salt to make the stuffing taste suitable for your own taste. Production method (13 sheets): soak dried shrimps and mushrooms until soft, and then dice them. Ginger, according to the practice of authentic meatballs, ginger is an indispensable seasoning in meatballs. The dosage should be more than a little, which can make the taste of ginger stronger and the meatballs reflect the characteristics of fresh fragrance. Ginger is washed, peeled and cut into pieces (the particle size is subject to crushing but not blocking the line of sight, usually the size can be maintained between 0.3 mm× 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm× 0.5 mm). Onion, cut the onion into small pieces of about 0.5mm, the amount of which is about a quarter of that of fresh pork. Take a third of chopped green onion and mix it with pork, and leave the rest untouched. Mix all the auxiliary materials and simmer the leather. There are only about two-thirds of onions left. Edible oil, let's talk about the function of edible oil first. If you use lean meat, you can add cooking oil to adjust it properly, so that the filling will not be too dry. If you use pork belly, you can omit this part. 2, the production of epidermis: Ningde Jiaocheng meatballs are characterized by the production of epidermis. There are meatballs everywhere, there must be meat, but the skin is usually wheat flour, flour and so on. Lack of special flavor. The biggest feature of meatballs in Ningde Jiaocheng is that the skin is not made of these ordinary materials. Sweet potato powder, also known as starch, is bought as small white pieces (mainly made of sweet potatoes, so it is also called sweet potato powder). Grind sweet potato powder into fine powder with a rolling pin. (Fine sweet potato powder may be fine powder when bought, so there is no need to grind it. Buy fresh taro (the variety is as big as a fist, don't bring its "baby"), wash the top soil of taro, put it in a pressure cooker (in the past, only one pot of fire was used to cook it, and the pressure cooker would not affect the effect), and cook it. After the cooked taro is fished out, peel it while it is hot (note that it is hot), and the inside of the taro is stacked in a large pot. Mash it into paste with a rolling pin, which is called taro paste. This process needs extra care, otherwise it will agglomerate. Stir the starch into the taro paste continuously. Until the taro paste no longer sticks to your hands. The cooked taro paste is similar to the kneaded dough, sticky but not sticky. Taro paste may seep if it is left for too long, so it can be stirred evenly with starch. 3. Packaging: Rub some taro paste into strips and knead them into circles by hand, with a thickness of about 0.5cm and a diameter of about 7cm (index finger length) or customize the size according to your own preferences. Put the spare chopped green onion at the bottom, add a proper amount of stuffing, seal it and knead it into a ball. 4. Cooking: put water in the pot, spread gauze on the steamer, then spread the meatballs on it, cover it and steam. 5, out of the pot: the skin of the meatball is made of taro, so after cooking, the skin will show a high viscosity. In order to avoid destroying the shape of meatballs when cooking, you can use smooth chopsticks, dip them in water and clip them into the plate. With beautiful carved flowers, you can even climb the elegant hall.
