I've heard my wife talk about soda meat before. She is a native of Jingzhou, Hubei Province, and soda meat is a home-cooked dish there. Before I knew this home-cooked dish, it seemed to me that the word "soda" had something to do with coke chicken wings, but soda meat is completely different. It is a kind of steamed meat like tender tofu, and it can only be "conquered" with a spoon. However, pork is usually used to make soda meat. If beef is used, it is recommended to use the most tender beef tenderloin. The method of soda meat is also very simple:

1. First, shred the meat, then chop it into minced meat. No matter which part of the meat is used, shave off the skin, fascia and the like. After finely chopping it into minced meat, put it in a deep plate or a big bowl for later use (it is best to eat and steam the soda meat now, not stay long, so I usually steam this at the end of a table);

2. Next, there are two options for mixing minced meat: 1. A small amount of salt, soy sauce, etc. and starch are moved into minced meat; Or 2. A small amount of salt, soy sauce, etc. and egg liquid are mixed into the minced meat (3 grams of meat and one egg). Anyway, the role of adding starch or eggs is to make the soda meat shape. After all the materials are added, the minced meat is stirred in one direction.

3.? The stirred minced meat is made into the shape of a doughnut-shaped meat pie. At this time, the meat pie is attached to the bottom of the bowl. After the steamer is inflated, we pour clean water along the bowl wall and the edge of the meat pie, and the water is at least less than the meat pie, and then put it into the steamer to steam for about 15 minutes.

4. basically, after about 15 minutes, the patties bubbled up from the bottom of the bowl, and the soda meat was steamed, with rich meat flavor and delicious soup!

Soda meat doesn't need too much seasoning powder, just add a little pepper to the minced meat at most. Too much complicated spiced powder and the like will rob the fresh meat of its rich meat flavor and umami flavor, so generally, even onion and ginger are not added. When serving, you can sprinkle chopped green onion, sesame oil, light soy sauce and the like according to your own taste, which is delicious.
