Every Spring Festival, our farmers in northern Jiangsu always make some steamed buns, dumplings, "dumplings"... some traditional pasta. At that time, everyone will gather together to celebrate the festival together. At this time, we children can have a feast. My favorite is "Dumpling", which is also called "lion head".

Why do I like to eat? It turns out that "lion head" has good color, fragrance and other ingredients.

When people eat "color", people who have never tasted it think it is colorful. In fact, they are wrong. The color of "lion head" is just like its name - the brown fur of the lion is light yellow. This also implies that the loess soil is the root of our farmers.

When we talked about "color", we talked about "fragrance". Although this "lion head" is not as "fragrant" as sweet-scented osmanthus, it can still be smelled dozens of meters away. Every time when we make it during the Chinese New Year, the children in the neighborhood will smell the "fragrance" and go to the "feast", clamoring to eat it.

The taste of this "lion head" is extraordinary. This "taste" took many generations of ancestors in our hometown to pass down. Its "taste" is the fragrance of chopped green onion and minced ginger mixed with a bit of fishy meat flavor, accompanied by the umami flavor of seasonings. Don't forget to drink some soup when you eat it, the soup is also very good. When the soup and fillings perform a Latin dance in your mouth, many tourists will sigh: This thing can only exist in heaven, how many times can it be tasted in the world.

Today's society is a propaganda society. It is impossible without advertising, and "Lion Head" is nothing more than a "ghost gate". But how to advertise this worldly delicacy? Don't worry, our ancestors have already done enough advertising for us. Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong personally tasted it when he went to Jiangnan and named it "Lion Head". Since then, the ancestors have used this as a "promotional slogan", it is "magnificent"!

This "lion head" looks good and tastes good, but it is difficult to make. Let me show you the process! Before cooking, prepare a clean large bucket, chop the meat into stuffing, chop the onion, ginger, garlic and cypress into mince and then cut into puree. OK, let’s get started. Usually adults will first put the minced meat directly into the bucket, pour in the "mud", add a spoonful of salt, a drop of vinegar, add MSG, and finally add two spoons of soy sauce. After stirring well, it is ready to be fried. In order to prevent it from losing its shape, you can add a little starch first. After putting it in the pot, carefully add firewood and control the fire head carefully. After a while, it was successful. Take a thin piece of cloth to carry the oil. Whenever this happens, I can't help drooling. I grab one and run away quickly.

This little "lion head" has become our expectation for the New Year because of its color, fragrance and famous ingredients. It also connects our hearts and narrows the distance between us, so I love "lion head". head"!
