<h1>Reunion, colorful pearl balls</h1>
Circle, representing consummation, reunion, the most typical is our Chinese New Year's Eve meal, no matter how large or small the table, must be round, this is the Chinese tradition. The round table has an equal feeding distance, coupled with the assistance of a turntable, unlike the Western-style long table, which is quite stylish, but it is more inconvenient to take food.
In the New Year dish, in addition to having a good meaning, I also like to use the shape of "circle". Perhaps this also means that people should be sleek, not too angular, and easy to hurt people's connotations!
Meatballs, the New Year to do some, Jiangsu and Zhejiang region lion head is also meatballs, but the head will be larger, the usual meatballs, whether steamed into fried, will be small and exquisite appearance, about a bite, just right.
Rich colors will always attract attention and attract people's appetite, and experts also say that the more diverse the food eaten, the better. In the past, pearl balls were also glutinous rice balls. Wrapped in simple glutinous rice on the outside, steamed crystal clear, it is also quite good, but I always feel that the color is not saturated.
When encountering the New Year's dish, the too ordinary glutinous rice balls have a little deficiency, so add it to the red rice and black rice, so that the color is bright and not monotonous.
After the transformation of the appearance, the filling can not be too inferior! When making Chinese New Year's Eve dishes, some big dishes tend to have more or less scraps left in them. These look a bit like chicken ribs, but they are the best place to digest the filling of the balls.
The gathering of these ingredients is also colorful, there is no sense of chicken ribs, I believe that the older generation of thrifty housekeepers, that is, this is the truth. For example, celery, generally will throw away the celery leaf, because it is a little bitter, the taste is not as crisp as the celery stem, in fact, its fishy effect is quite good, as long as it is finely chopped some bitter taste is not obvious. The horseshoe has a crisp texture that makes the meatballs chewy and not greasy.
From the inside out, it is really called colorful flash, after the table, adults and children are all subdued. The skin is soft and sticky, and there is a light yami fragrance, Q bullet meatballs, although not as bouncy as a ping-pong ball, but with a bite, full of meat aroma, delicious and full.
