Ingredients
Steps
-
Soak all ingredients and mushrooms about half an hour in advance.
-
Buy pork front leg meat that is 70% lean and 30% fat. Clean it and cut it into pieces about the size of your thumb.
-
Put it in a cooking cup and beat it into minced meat (if you don’t have a food processor, you can chop it by hand, and try to chop it as finely as possible). When mincing the meat, add an appropriate amount of ginger and the white part of the green onion.
-
Chop shiitake mushrooms.
-
Put the minced meat and shiitake mushrooms into a container. Add salt, soy sauce, rice wine, homemade shrimp peel MSG, corn starch, and flour and stir. Add a small amount of water twice in the middle and stir together.
-
Then I picked it up with my hands and kept beating it for about half an hour (for the convenience of operation, I changed it to a larger container). To judge whether it is OK, grab the meat filling with your hands and it will feel very firm, even a little hard is better. The longer the beating time, the more elastic the meatballs will be. There was not a drop of oil added to the meat filling, and my hands were covered in oil during the beating process.
-
Bring an appropriate amount of water to the pot over low heat and add two slices of ginger.
-
When the water temperature is a little warm, first wet your hands, then grab a ball of meat filling, squeeze out small balls and put them in the pot. You can also take an appropriate amount of meat filling and roll it into small balls with both hands.
-
After squeezing out all the meat filling, turn on high heat and bring to a boil.
-
Cook until all the noodles float to the surface. After cooking, remove and let cool. If you can't finish it all at once, you can put it in the refrigerator. The cooked soup can be used to cook noodles or add other ingredients to cook it together. It is very delicious.
