What are the ingredients that need to be prepared? A 500g piece of high-quality chicken breast, about 300g of a famous iron bar yam from Jiaozuo, Hebei Province, a juicy tomato starch, freshly laid by the old hen at home. Two free-range eggs. We need to prepare the auxiliary ingredients: 200 grams of starch, 50 grams of coriander, one spoon of salt, half a spoon of chicken essence, one spoon of light soy sauce, one spoon of dark soy sauce, and one spoon of oyster sauce. For those who like meatballs but don’t know how to make them, you can prepare them one by one according to the ingredients and accessories shared by the editor. If you want to eat meatballs, just replace the chicken breast and yam with pork and lotus root slices.

First of all, we rinse the purchased chicken breasts with clean water, and use a knife to remove the chicken fat around the chicken breasts. Compared with other meat products, chicken breast has a relatively high protein content, and the fat and calories of chicken breast are relatively low. It is a very good meal replacement for reducing fat and building muscle. Tieguang yam is generally sold in supermarkets. The thin yam can nourish yin and nourish the kidneys. If you feel backache and fatigue due to long-term work fatigue, insomnia and staying up late, the editor recommends that you eat more yam and wolfberry, because our kidneys love yam very much. We use a peeling knife to peel off the skin of the iron rod yam, rinse the remaining mucus on the yam with clean water, and cut it into hob pieces. Put the chopped yam and chicken breast into a meat grinder, and then pour the egg liquid of free-range eggs into the meat grinder. The chicken breast and yam pieces can be mixed together well.

If the first mincing is not very uniform, we can mince it a second time until the chicken breasts in the blender are minced into pureed meat. Put the minced meat into a large bowl. Add a spoonful of five-spice powder, a spoonful of spicy food, and a spoonful of cooking wine (you can omit it if you don't like the taste of cooking wine). Add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the meat paste and stir vigorously in a clockwise direction with chopsticks. It is best to stir by hand to make it more even. When we see the meat filling is ready and the top can be drawn, the chicken filling is ready. Cover it with plastic wrap and set it aside for later use.

At this time, let’s prepare the auxiliary ingredients. Blanch the juicy tomatoes in boiling water to remove their coats, then cut them in half with a knife and then cut them into small dices. When we eat tomatoes, we can scald the tomatoes' coats with boiling water, because the tomatoes they get will taste better. We also prepared the coriander in advance. Friends who don’t like coriander can use chopped green onion instead. The coriander and chopped green onion are just to enhance the flavor of the meatballs. Chop the tomatoes and coriander and put them on a plate. Prepare a small pot. Heat the pot over medium heat. Pour a small spoonful of lard into the pot and melt it. Today we use lard instead of rapeseed oil to make the soup of yam and chicken meatballs. The juice is richer.

After the oil is hot, add the onion, ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir-fry briefly and add the diced tomatoes. Use a spatula to stir-fry the tomatoes to draw out the juice. Add salt, chicken essence, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and soy sauce. Smoke for seasoning. Pour about a liter of warm water into the pot, wait until the soup in the pot boils, then turn to low heat and add the yam chicken meatballs you just prepared. Here, the editor will teach you how to make meatballs. We put the meat filling at the tiger's mouth, use a little force to squeeze the meat filling out of the tiger's mouth, and then use a small spoon to scoop it out to get a meatball. This method of kneading meatballs is very simple. Friends who have learned it can go back and try it. We must use low heat when making the meatballs. If the heat is too high, the meatballs will be scattered. After the meatballs are placed, simmer over high heat for three to four minutes. When all the meatballs float to the surface, it means they are cooked.

Before taking the meatballs out of the pot, crack two free-range eggs into a bowl, pour the beaten egg liquid into the pot, and then add the chopped coriander. At this time, you can taste the saltiness of the soup. If it tastes good, you can turn off the heat and serve! In this way, our yam chicken meatballs are ready. Smell the aroma emanating from the soup and you can't help but drool. The natural sweet and sour taste of tomatoes, coupled with the meat and vegetable combination of yam and chicken breast, will instantly make your taste buds dance. The hot chicken meatballs come in one bite, satisfying all the desires of little mouths, and the chicken breast is added to the meatballs to make them chewy and chewy. Use the soup of yam and chicken meatballs to mix with the rice. The rich soup is paired with the rice and is delivered to your mouth. It will definitely make you applaud.
