Lion’s Head Meat Balls (獅子頭)
Posted by Bel.C
Have you ever tried those over-sized pork meat balls? It is a popular Shanghainese dish which is called the “Lion’s Head Meat Balls”. The reason for naming them the “Lion’s Head” is because of the meat balls are made in huge size, about 7-10 cm (3-4 inch) resemble the lion’s heads based on the Chinese legend, while the cabbages look like the lion’s mane.
I like how the meat ball is combined with seasoning and the water chestnut for the extra crunchiness. This time I’ve put in some pan fried tofu into the soup for an extra variety of vegetable in the pot.
