The weather is hot and we can't eat greasy meat, but for the sake of balanced nutrition, we still have to eat some meat.
At this time, we can choose some lean meat. Lean meat is rich in protein and essential fatty acids, which can provide the body with the nutrients it needs to promote growth and development. Lean meat is also rich in iron, which can promote the production and function maintenance of red blood cells .
In the hot summer, make some meatballs with lean meat, boil some soup, and steam some meatballs which are not greasy and add nutrition.

Meat selection: Pick a piece of front leg meat. As the name suggests, it is the meat on the front leg of the pig. Since the pig mainly relies on the front leg to move, the frequency of movement is relatively high, so the meat in this part is relatively tender. , has good elasticity, and is alternately fat and lean. The whole is composed of a lot of lean meat. In daily cooking, it is suitable for making dumplings, stews, braised pork , braised pork slices, etc.!
Cutting and mincing meat: Cut the meat into thin slices and then use a knife to chop it at a constant speed (you can also grind it directly with a meat grinder, but you need to control the grinding time). Personally, I like to chop it by hand and grind it out with a meat grinder. The meat is almost mud-like, and the texture is not as good as hand-chopped meat. The hand-chopped meat has a rich aroma.
Lean meatball soup. Add seasonings to the chopped meat (you can add seasonings according to your own taste). I usually add some salt and a little sesame oil. Stir evenly and then add sweet potato powder . Use your hands to grasp it thoroughly and evenly. You can grab it. The longer it takes, the more flavorful the meat will be. Then knead the grabbed meat into meatballs (the amount of sweet potato powder added here can depend on the shape of the meatballs. Less powder will make it harder to shape and sticky). After the water boils, pour the prepared meatballs into the pot. In the pot, you can add some scallops, winter melon, or American ginseng slices to make it taste more delicious. Steam for about 40 minutes and sprinkle with a little chopped green onion. Take a bite and the meat will be fragrant. Take a sip of the soup, which is sweet but not greasy. If you don’t want to steam the meatballs, you can make the meatballs smaller, boil the water and cook them in a pot, and add some of your favorite ingredients.
Steamed lean meatballs with minced meat, add chopped carrots , mushrooms, water chestnuts , corn, etc., add salt, sesame oil, pepper and other seasonings (the ingredients and seasonings can be adjusted according to your own taste) and stir After uniformity, add the sweet potato powder, grasp it evenly with your hands, and after grasping it thoroughly, knead it into meatballs and dip them in the glutinous rice soaked in advance (the glutinous rice can be soaked for an hour or two in advance). Adjust the shape and put it in a steamer or a plate. , after the water in the pot boils, steam it for half an hour, take it out of the pot and sprinkle with chopped green onion. Take a bite, the meat is fragrant, chewy, and the water chestnuts are refreshing, making you want to have another after eating one.
I’m afraid of eating greasy meat in summer, so don’t bother trying this. It’s absolutely delicious and not greasy!
