What I am talking about today is - Runan Chicken Meatballs
Runan Chicken Meatballs are a special dish of Runan County and are also a famous local historical snack. The chicken is oily but not greasy, smooth in color, soft and delicious.
Main ingredients: 300g chicken breast
Auxiliary ingredients: about 50-100g sweet potato starch. 1 egg white, white fungus 50g
Seasoning: 3g salt, 2g pepper, 10g sugar,
1. Clean the chicken breast, remove the cartilage and fascia, and knock it with the back of the knife to loosen the chicken. Use a knife to chop the chicken breast into chicken velvet for later use.
2. Cook the white fungus, then chop it with a knife and set aside.
3. Put chicken velvet and white fungus velvet into a basin, beat in an egg white (increase the elasticity and color of the meatballs), then add seasoning, salt, sugar and pepper, then stir evenly with chopsticks, then add sweet potato starch, and continue to stir (be sure to stir in one direction to make it chicken chew 2 strong and elastic) until the chicken sticks to the chopsticks and cut it loose.
3. Boil water in a pot, cool it until the water temperature is about 80 degrees. Use a spoon to stick some cooking oil (it won’t stick), then squeeze it into meatballs with tiger mouth, dig it out with a spoon, put it into the water one by one. After all, turn to high heat and cook for about 5 minutes, cook the meatballs, and wait until the meatballs float one by one, and the meatballs are cooked.
4. Put the cooked meatballs into the chicken soup prepared in advance, and continue to cook on low heat for 10-20 minutes to make the meatballs more flavorful. When eating, put the soup with meatballs together, add salt, a little sesame oil, etc. in the soup, sprinkle with coriander and other auxiliary ingredients, and eat the meatballs while drinking the soup.
