2. Add an egg, a spoonful of oyster sauce, two spoons of light soy sauce, a teaspoon of pepper, 4 grams of salt, add a spoonful of cornstarch to the minced meat, and beat evenly in one direction.
3. Add a small amount of 100 grams of green onion and ginger water many times, and stir well every time you add it, and then add it to the next time. If you have dashi at home, you can add it directly. After adding green onion and ginger water, beat in one direction for about 10 minutes, whip the meat filling until the glue is out, fluffy and elastic, add the water chestnut and mix well.
4. Add a spoonful of cornstarch to half a bowl of water and stir into starch water, the meat filling will form a large meatball, dip some starch water on the surface, smooth it and put it in a bowl, and add the water that has not covered the meatballs.

Put a few wolfberries out of the pot to decorate it, this lion's head is soft and fragrant, suitable for all ages, in addition to the meaning of reunion and wealth, this dish also symbolizes family harmony and happiness.
1. Don't use pure and lean meat filling, but make it more delicious with front leg meat or pork belly.
2. If you want the lion's head to be full and juicy, you have to let the meat filling absorb enough water, and if you want the lion's head not to be loose, you have to beat the meat filling hard, beat the gum out, and the meat filling will naturally hold together.
3. If you feel that the taste is relatively light, you can also add the steamed soup to light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water starch to boil until viscous, and pour it on top of the steamed meatballs.
