Chinese New Year pays attention to round meatballs, also called jiaozi, so making meatballs and eating jiaozi has become a popular food culture.

Every New Year, people in my hometown especially like making meatballs. As for the ingredients of meatballs, they vary from place to place. There are meatballs, vegetarian meatballs, mung bean meatballs, pearl meatballs, radish meatballs, lotus root meatballs and so on. The attractive meat flavor of meatballs and the vegetarian flavor of vegetarian meatballs lingering at the bottom of the nose have their own advantages.

To make pearl balls, you can make them pure if you like meat, but it is good to add some other ingredients to the meat, such as lotus root and carrot. This dish is a well-deserved product in terms of taste and nutritional value.

The steamed pearl pills taste soft and delicious. The glutinous rice wrapped in the outer layer is crystal clear and sparkling, just like pearls, so it is also called "pearl ball".

Skills of making pearl balls:

1. Meatballs are easy to cook. Glutinous rice must be soaked in advance and easy to steam.

2. Pork belly stuffing must be filled with water and stirred vigorously, so that the steamed meatballs will be delicious. Don't make the meat too wet, or the meatballs will shrivel.

3. The pearl ball should not be too big, which is easy to evaporate.

4. The glutinous rice on the surface of meatballs does not need to be covered, and the volume of steamed glutinous rice will expand. When it is dyed, the rice grains will leave some gaps directly, and the finished product will look better.

5. The balls stained with glutinous rice must be grouped back and forth in the palm of your hand. Rice grains are embedded in meatballs.

6. Don't rush out of the pot in the future, steam it, and the rice will be more crystal clear.
