Chapter 498 Why is it called Lion Head? Calling it Lion Head is deceiving my feelings
This is the first live broadcast after the annual meeting. It has been two or three days since the last live broadcast.
This seems short, but for fans, it feels extremely long.
So as soon as the live broadcast room was opened, countless fans flocked in.
【One day without seeing you feels like three years】
【My Jiujiu is back! 】
【My youth is back! I love it!】
"Welcome everyone to my food livestream. I'm Jiang Jiujiu. It's been a few days since we last met. How are you all? Today we're going to eat meatballs again~"
"I found that I really like making meatballs."
[Again, croquettes?]
"No, although we need to supplement some fat in autumn and winter, eating fried food all the time can be a bit greasy. Today we're making a crab meat lion's head with a clear soup."
Crab meat lion head is one of the representative dishes of Huaiyang cuisine.
Unlike fried meatballs, crab meat lion head is a soup dish. After it is cooked, the soup is clear but not bland, the taste is fresh but not loose, the meat is soft and glutinous, and very delicious.
Of course, at this time, someone in the barrage will definitely ask [Why is it a lion head?! ]
【Do you want to use lion head to make meatballs? 】
Just looking at the name, talking about it in the real world, or just fantasizing about it, it feels like a horror movie.
The lion's head turns into a meatball?
[Please don't let me eat a dumpling with eyes! ]
[Dei! Bless me to eat meat! ]
[Meat from anywhere is fine, just meat. I don’t like eyes either!]
Although it was scary, everyone quickly overcame their fear in a few seconds and happily started deciding who would own each part on the barrage.
"Everyone, there's no need to separate so quickly. Our main dish today is still sweet and sour pork, but the meatballs are a little bigger now, so we call them lion's heads. It was also called that before."
"Let's not talk too much, let's start making meatballs!"
After showing off the well-defined texture of the sweet and sour pork, Jiang Qiuqiu began to cut the meat. "You should choose this kind of meat, 40% fat and 60% lean."
Adding more fat can prevent the lion's head from being too dry and tough when cooked.
Jiang Qiuqiu's eyes focused as he entered the livestream. "Chop them all into small dices, but not too small. Then add some shrimp roe and crab meat. Due to time constraints, I've already processed them in advance. I'll put the processing video in the comments section. If anyone wants to make it, they can check it out."
"In addition to the main ingredients, add some spices, water and water starch." Water starch has appeared many times before, so Jiang Qiuqiu did not explain it in detail.
The next step is to stir and beat until the meat is firm. There is no special technique for this. "Just keep stirring and beating until the meat is firm and sticky, like this, and it can be lumped together without falling apart. Then we can move on to the next step."
The next step is to roll the balls. This is very simple. Because the starch is more sticky due to the addition of water, there is no need to put it in cold water to fix it. Just put the balls in a bowl and press a little crab roe into the balls, and the dish is half done.
The process of making meatballs is very technical.
But everyone has become accustomed to this technology, and their focus is on——
I'm so confused.
[I'm confused too.]
[I'm confused too.]
So are our doubts the same?
Didn't Jijiu just say that because the meatballs are so big, they're called lion heads instead of meatballs? I think even if that's a little exaggerated, the meatballs should be about this size, right? Why is it only the size of an o?
