Analysis:

The most famous dish in Yangzhou is lion's head. Let's call it the lion's head, and the locals call it gouging out meat. Although it is not a banquet to gouge out the meat in Yangzhou, this dish is very particular. It is said that pork must choose ribs, and neither front leg meat nor rear leg meat can be used. Cut the meat patiently, and you can chop it a few times. This is known to all. To make a lion's head, cut it finely and chop it roughly. A layman chopped up the meat and put it on the chopping board. He took two knives like drums and transported it like rain, cutting off all the essence of the meat, leaving only the meat residue. This is why some food experts don't eat thousands of pieces of meat. Chop the meat and knead it into balls with thin bamboo+rice flour. The most taboo is egg white, or chopped water chestnuts. The meatballs should be slightly round (manual+appropriate), as long as they don't spread. Never pinch it hard and then wrap it in big green leaves. Each catty of meat can be divided into four or six portions. It is best to fill the bowl with pottery, cover the bottom of the bowl with the skin of hair roots, then add scallops, mushrooms, edamame, winter bamboo shoots or spring shoots, green vegetables, chicken, ginger, onions, sugar, wine, white fire and salt, and braise in soy sauce. Boiling is the most important thing for real foodies, because the braised soy sauce is autumn sauce (high-grade soy sauce) selected by Yangzhou Simei Sauce Garden in the ancient way. After eating, the bottom of the dish is always sour. Another trick is to gouge out the meat and put it in a bowl. The bowl surface should be flat and not overlapped, otherwise it will be uneven. The spout made of pottery is not tight. Cover the pot and surround it with a damp cloth to avoid gas. It is best to use a large charcoal bottom for stewing and planing meat, and the firepower is lasting. After six to eight hours, bring it to the pot, so that the lion's head is tender, fragrant, oily and not greasy. As for later, someone made a lion's head and came up with new tricks, adding crab powder. Although fresh ingredients are added, crabs are fresh and tasteless, which is really not enough for training.
