Introduction: You must try this special delicacy in Hubei. The delicious combination of glutinous rice and pork is very fragrant. Some time ago, I made an appointment with a friend to visit Hubei. At that time, the weather was neither cold nor hot, and the weather was good and I was in a good mood.

Every time you visit a city, experiencing the local culture is part of it, and more importantly, tasting the local food. Foodies should all know this, haha.

This trip to Hubei did not disappoint me as a foodie. The various delicacies made me forget about my weight loss plan for a long time. I may not be able to resist the temptation of delicacies.

There are many delicacies in Hubei. In addition to the famous delicacies such as three fresh bean curds, steamed pork and hot dry noodles, I also discovered another delicacy. It is so exquisite that people are reluctant to eat it, but it looks like

So appetizing.

Without beating around the bush, let me tell you directly. What I am talking about is Hubei Pearl Yuanzi.

The first time I saw it, I thought it was very unique. The combination of soaked glutinous rice and pork was really strange. After tasting it, I couldn't help but sigh that there were such delicious meatballs.

I wonder if everyone has eaten it?

Then come with me to see how this delicacy is made.

Pearl dumplings are a traditional delicacy in Hubei Province. They are also available in Sichuan, Anhui and other places, but they are not as delicious and famous as those in Hubei.

In Anhui, people refer to meatballs as round balls, which represent good luck and reunion. At first, they were a must-eat during festivals and festivals, and now they are made by themselves whenever they want.

Why is it called "Pearl Yuanzi"?

Could it have something to do with pearls?

Then you are wrong.

Pearl dumplings are actually pork balls rolled in soaked glutinous rice. After steaming, the glutinous rice is as white and crystal clear as pearls.

There are also techniques for making pearl meatball fillings, so I won’t go into details. Let’s take a look at how we make this delicacy.

Ingredients: Pork, glutinous rice, onion and ginger, cooking wine, pepper, starch, eggs, salt Method: 1. First, we wash the glutinous rice and then soak it for three hours.

2. While the glutinous rice is soaking, start preparing the filling of the meatballs: prepare fresh pork, chop it with a knife and then chop it into minced meat. Chop the onion, ginger and pork filling together so that the onion and ginger flavor can be integrated into the meat.

In the filling, it tastes more delicious.

3. Put the minced meat filling into a bowl, add cooking wine, salt, pepper, starch and eggs and stir continuously in one direction until the meat filling is whipped.

4. After the glutinous rice is soaked, filter out the water in the glutinous rice, then drain the glutinous rice and put it on a plate.

5. Squeeze the meat filling into a ball shape, then roll it in the glutinous rice, and try to coat the ball with a layer of glutinous rice evenly.

6. Dip all the meatballs evenly into the glutinous rice according to this method, put them in a steamer, boil the water and steam them for fifteen minutes before eating.
