【Tianjin】Ruyi Meat Roll

Overview

Many traditional Chinese mascots are related to the New Year, and Ruyi is a well-known mascot. As a symbol of good luck, of course everyone desires to have Ruyi, but the cost of making an exquisite Ruyi is very expensive and beyond the reach of ordinary people. Things have changed, and now Ruyi has withdrawn from people's daily life and become an antique. However, the exquisite and beautiful Ruyi carries the history they once had and the auspicious and beautiful meaning they contain. They are still so pleasing to the eye and are loved by people. Today I made a Ruyi-shaped meat roll to bring good luck and good fortune. I wish everyone all the best in the new year. Northerners love to eat pasta, and Tianjin is no exception. Steamed buns, flower curly cakes, steamed buns, and meat dragons are all indispensable staple foods in my family. During the New Year and festivals, some should be steamed in advance. This meat roll is very popular with children. However, I rolled it a little loosely and the shape was a bit unsightly. The child said to me: Mom, aren’t these glasses? Haha, everyone ignores my skills. It tastes really good.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Add water to the meat filling and beat vigorously, add the above seasonings and mix well (actually there is still one step left: cut in the chopped green onion and pour hot oil on the chopped green onion to make the filling the most fragrant. Due to time constraints, I omitted this step and simply adjusted the flavor of the meat filling.)

  2. Add a little white sugar to the flour and mix evenly. The white sugar helps ferment the flour, so you don't need to add sugar.
