If braised pork is full of meat and sauce, braised lion head is full of delicious ingredients and the chef's ultimate pursuit of food. Premier Zhou's reception of President Nixon's state banquet is definitely not an ordinary dish. Chop 4:6 lean meat into pomegranate seed size by hand, and each bite can taste the original granular meat. The chopped horseshoe inside adds crispy taste and rich flavor.

Lion head is a famous dish in Yangzhou, which was first founded in Sui Dynasty. At that time, it was called four happy parties or big meatballs. At that time, Emperor Yang Di visited Yangzhou along the Canal and praised the scenery of Wansongshan, Qiandun, Ivory Forest and Sunflower Mountain. After coming back, he asked the chef to cook four dishes with four scenes as the theme, namely Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish, money shrimp cake, ivory chicken strips and so on. When Dr. Gui gave a banquet in the mansion, the chef cooked sunflower dishes for meat. This dish shows that meatballs are the heart of a sunflower, round and full, shaped like a lion's head. So Dr. Gui renamed it Lion Head. Since then, lion's head has become popular in Jiangnan and a famous dish in Yangzhou. Compared with sunflower fresh meat, the name lion head is more vivid and easier to remember.
