How to make handmade pumpkin meatballs

Summer has just passed and the food delivery staff have gradually stopped coming. The fact that so many people order takeout shows how lazy modern people are. Although the weather was very hot recently, we cannot eat takeout every day. The oil and salt content in takeout food is seriously exceeded, which will cause illness in the long run. In order to live longer, you might as well go into the kitchen yourself and follow me to learn how to make handmade pumpkin meatballs.

1. Wash the pumpkin, peel and slice it

2. Add water to the pot, bring to a boil, put the pumpkin slices on top, sprinkle some salt, and steam until cooked (sprinkling salt can help the pumpkin dehydrate better)

3. While the pumpkin slices are being steamed, wash and chop the meat, add a little salt and mix well (so that the meat will not be without salt taste)

4. After the pumpkin slices are steamed, drain the water, put them in a bowl, and mash them with the back of a spoon (the pumpkin slices are cooked when you can pierce them with chopsticks)

5. Add the meat and mix well, then add salt, chicken essence, pepper and mix well.

6. Add flour, little by little, and stir in one direction with chopsticks

7. Add flour and stir until you can no longer stir with chopsticks.

8. Use your hands to pinch out quail-sized pieces of dough. Keep a bowl of cold water nearby for washing your hands when they get sticky.

9. Put the dough into your left palm and knead it twice with your fingers.

10. Use both hands to gently knead the dough into a round shape

11. The round meatballs are ready

12. Put the meatballs into the pot and keep the water slightly boiling. (This way the balls won’t fall apart easily, and after forming, they will slowly float up)

13. Put the meatballs into the pot while making them (it will not take up space and the meatballs will not stick to the chopping board and you can't lift them up)

14. After putting all the meatballs into the pot, wait until they float to the surface, cover the pot, and cook over high heat for 10 minutes.
