The child's father was in Xi'an when he went to college before, and it has been more than ten years since he graduated. Except for the large gatherings between classmates who went back to Xi'an once or twice, I almost never went there again. Recently, he especially missed the meatball peppery soup at the entrance of the school, and mentioned it to me many times. Because of my work before, I have also been to Xi'an, but I have not drunk this meatball peppery soup.
Speaking of peppery soup, the first thing I think of is the peppery soup of our hometown in Henan, but he said that it is completely different, and after simply describing it to me, it feels particularly like the stew in our hometown, except that the Xi'an version of meatballs and peppery soup is powdery paste. Now the Internet is so developed, after the search, the definition of meatball peppery soup has a simple understanding, the next step is the field operation, today to share with you the first time to operate the meatball peppery soup, but is not authentic I am not sure, the child his father said close to 80 percent, if there are small partners in Xi'an or Shaanxi, brush to my food article, there is something wrong or need to fill the place, thank you for correcting ~
The prepared meatballs are very strong and bite into the mouth. The texture is fragrant and hemp, the taste is good, much more attractive than I thought, and I personally gave this humble dish an 8.5 points.
The ingredients needed to make this dish are about 100 grams of beef ground meat, which is more popular among the Hui people in Xi'an, and it may also be a traditional Hui cuisine, so the choice is beef ground meat. If you're not a minority, I think you can choose pork or other meats as well.
Add 50 grams of sweet potato starch, more peppercorn powder, a moderate amount of thirteen spices, a little salt and chicken essence to the beef grinding meat.
Put on gloves and stir well by hand to allow the seasonings and starch to blend perfectly with the ground beef meat, and finally show this state in the bowl.
Divide the beef into small balls of about 6 grams and set aside in a bowl.
The vegetables needed in this dish are also selected according to your preference. It is best to choose those with less moisture. This time, according to the child's request, the choice was potatoes, zucchini, carrots and lotus white.
Boil a pot of beef broth in advance. After the beef bones are cleaned, add a large amount of peppercorns and a small amount of star anise, and put them in the pot. The most important reason why the meatball pepper soup is eaten in the mouth is the addition of pepper and pepper, whether it is meatballs or meat bone broth, the indispensable seasoning is peppercorn.
Cut the potatoes and carrots into slightly larger pieces.
Lotus white is best torn into flakes by hand, so that the fibers are more intact and more fragrant to eat. Because of time, I cut into irregular chunks.
Cut the zucchini into chunks as well.
After the beef bone broth is heated in a pot, add the balls and cook for five minutes. Add potatoes and carrots.
Cook a little and add the zucchini.
Finally, add the lotus white or other green vegetables that are easier to cook.
When rolling again, add the sweet potato starch. Instead of pouring it into the pot completely at once, pour it in slowly and in small amounts many times.
All the way to the whole very viscous state. From the description of the child's father, I personally feel that the starch paste I made is still not thick enough, watch some documentaries in the Xi'an meatball peppery soup, the thickness should be much thicker than this.
Add an appropriate amount of peppercorn powder, white pepper, a small amount of table salt.
Stir well until very viscous and ready to go.
Xi'an meatballs peppery soup is done, come to a spoonful of oil spicy seeds, with fritters or oil cakes, very delicious, in Xi'an dialect to describe "hey". Hahaha~
Drink a bowl, warm and warm, if you have not tasted such a delicacy, it is recommended that you can make it yourself.
