——【Tips】:——
(1) The main points of the balls are not scattered: First, the pork filling made of the balls must be very finely chopped. If you chop the meat filling yourself, the chopping is not thorough and very rough, then the balls are easy to fall apart after the pot is put down. Second, a little starch should be added to the meat filling.
(2), the main point of tender and smooth balls: the pork filling must be whisked into the water, otherwise the balls will be very chai and hard. Adding a little starch can also play a role in making the meatballs tender.
(3), the soup is refreshing and not greasy points: this soup does not go through the process of frying chives and ginger in hot oil, directly boiled in water, so that the soup is very refreshing, more suitable for summer eating, if after the process of frying chives and ginger with hot oil, coupled with the role of pork balls, it will make the whole soup greasy, and there is no appetite in summer.
(4), make ball soup, when seasoning the meat filling, do not add raw soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce and other spices, otherwise, the meatballs made will have a dumpling filling, and these spices will more or less enter the soup, causing the soup to be turbid and black, and the effect of the soup cannot be cleared.
(5) Adding a little cooking wine can remove the fishy smell of the meat, but it must not be added.
(6) Like to eat vermicelli, you can also add some Longkou vermicelli to the soup.
(7) The following is the dosage of large spoons and small spoons mentioned above for your reference:
