Ingredients
Steps
-
Prepare materials
-
Peel and wash the ginger and garlic, chop into minced ginger and minced garlic
-
Wash the pork and mince it into minced pork
-
Wash the eggplant, cut into fine cubes, mix well with salt and steam until cooked
-
Add minced ginger, minced garlic, salt, sugar, cornstarch, and black pepper to the minced pork
-
When mixing well, mix well in the same direction (I do it clockwise). During this period, gradually add water and continue mixing well to make the meat paste look fluffy and smooth. Finally add an egg white and mix well in the same direction
-
Squeeze out the water from the steamed diced eggplant (it becomes eggplant puree after pressing)
-
Add the eggplant puree to the pork and continue to mix in the same direction
-
Grab a piece of meat paste with your hand, squeeze out a meatball at the tiger's mouth of your hand (put the meat paste in the palm of your hand, so you can make a fist naturally)
-
You can use a spoon to help shape the meatballs to make them smoother (put the edge of the spoon against the palm of your hand with the meatballs on it, like digging into the palm of your hand, and the meatballs will come out; if you still don’t understand, just use the method of making a lion’s head)
-
Apply a thin layer of oil on the plate and place the cooked meatballs
-
Pour cold water into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to medium to low heat for about 8-10 minutes (time depends on the size of the meatballs)
-
[Sauce: sweet and sour taste] Pour the steamed meatball soup into the pot, add one tablespoon of light soy sauce, two tablespoons of sugar, and three tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
-
After boiling, add cornstarch water (water to cornstarch ratio is 5:1) and cook into a sweet and sour gravy
-
Pour the steamed meatballs into the pot and stir-fry until each meatball is coated with the sauce
-
Place on a plate and sprinkle with chopped green onion
-
[Sauce: salty and fresh taste] Pour the soup of the steamed meatballs into the pot and add a tablespoon of light soy sauce
-
After boiling, add cornstarch water (water to cornstarch ratio is 5:1) and cook into a salty and delicious gravy
-
Pour the savory gravy over the steamed meatballs
