Tips

1. When choosing minced meat, make sure it has both fat and lean meat. Meat that is purely lean does not taste good.

2. The yam can be cut into very fine cubes and mixed with minced meat instead of being steamed and mashed. However, an appropriate amount of starch needs to be added, otherwise it will be difficult to make it into firm meatballs.

3. Yam is not only a good vegetable to eat, but also a well-known nutritious tonic. Adding yam to meatballs can reduce the greasiness of the meatballs and make them taste sweet and delicious. The combination of yam and pork not only provides the food with a richer flavor, but also integrates the nutrition reasonably.

4. Using soy sauce can bring out the flavor of the ingredients, making the dishes fresh, delicious and unique in flavor.
