Tofu meatballs

Overview

My mother is a capable and virtuous housewife who always cooks all kinds of delicious food for us. Because my family’s financial conditions were limited and we had many sisters when we were young, sometimes in order to allow us to eat meat, my mother would make tofu balls into balls, stuff them with meat fillings in the middle, and then deep-fry them, which not only satisfied our greedy appetites, but also solved our financial problems. Later, this tofu meatball became a very popular holiday dish during the New Year. Now that I have a small family, I often cook it for my daughter and husband. Especially in winter, I cook it more often. I can make soup and eat hot pot. It can not only protect my health and eat less meat, but also lose weight and satisfy my greedy needs. Tofu, known as Fuli in ancient times, is the main raw material of vegetarian dishes in my country. It has always been welcomed by people and is known as plant meat. It is sweet in taste and cool in nature. It enters the spleen, stomach and large intestine meridians. It has the effects of replenishing qi and neutralizing middle phlegm, promoting body fluids and moisturizing dryness, clearing away heat and detoxifying. It can be used to treat red eyes, quench thirst, and relieve sulfur and soju poison.
