Meatballs, also known as taro balls, are indispensable food in Ningde people's life, and their status is equivalent to that of jiaozi in the north. Later, due to the spring breeze of reform and opening up, just like jiaozi was everywhere, meatball stalls were everywhere in the streets. With the increasing mobility of people who go out to work and study, meatballs have become a way for people to miss their hometown. Because this taro meatball is only available in Ningde Jiaocheng, and the stalls are still decreasing year by year, people especially miss it. Men, women and children like it.
Meatballs are made with taro as the skin, and the stuffing is usually minced meat, shrimp, Jiang Mo and chopped green onion. The steamed meatballs are green and transparent, which makes people have an appetite and smells delicious. Try it yourself if you don't believe me!
Meatballs are not only a regular dish, but also indispensable for drinking and feasting. The word "circle" is mainly used to mean "reunion" and "perfection". "Yuan" and "Yuan" are homophonic, especially suitable for wedding banquets. For example, when fish and meat are mixed together, it is even more auspicious in pairs.
