Lion head is a famous dish in Yangzhou, and the production process is relatively complicated. What I make is not authentic. The production process is based on combining the strengths of other families to come up with a recipe that my family is satisfied with. There are many preparations that need to be done in advance, such as: the fascia of the meat must be removed and cut into small pieces, the water chestnuts must be peeled, the shrimps must be grilled and deveined in advance, and the quail eggs must be boiled and soaked in advance. Of course, you can buy ready-made meat fillings, shrimps, canned quail eggs, and water chestnuts, which will save a lot of trouble. But if you want it to be delicious, you have to pay attention to the raw materials, and some steps cannot be omitted. I made a total of 29 pieces, each meat filling weighed 50 grams (excluding egg weight), of which 17 were filled with eggs and 12 were not filled with eggs.
