Step:
1.Firstly, we prepare a fresh pork, slice it into thin pieces, which will be convenient for us to mince into meatballs. When mincing the pork, we need to mince it into fine and even meatballs, which can make the meatballs more elastic and taste more rich. The minced pork is put into a basin and set aside. Now, the meatballs are ready, let’s continue to make celery meatball soup.
2.Take a small handful of celery, clean it carefully. Then, dice the celery into small particles with uniform size, which is easy to chew. The diced celery is put into a basin for cooking later.
3.Carefully take out a block of frim tofu, its surface is smooth and texture is tough. Press the tofu gently with the back of a knife, you can feel the delicate taste and incredible smoothness of the tofu. As the tofu is pressed, it gradually becomes more delicate and presents an attractive ivory color. We put these crushed tofu particles into a basin and set them aside as they will be an important ingredient in our cooking next.
4.Next, we take a large white onion, break it in half, and cut it into pieces. Then cut a small piece of ginger into ginger powder, and put them together with minced meat in a basin. This can make the minced meat more flavorful, and enhance the taste and aroma of the soup. Now that all the ingredients are ready, we can start cooking this delicious celery meat Meat-ball soup.
5.After all the ingredients are prepared, we move on to the next step. We add two grams of salt, one gram of chicken powder, one gram of pepper powder, one gram of sichuan peppercorn powder, two grams of oyster sauce, a few drops of dark soy sauce to the meatballs, mix them evenly and season the meat filling with them. Then, we crack an egg and mix it in with one hand, continuing to mix and blend. Add a little tofu to the mixture and continue stirring until the tofu and meat filling are fully integrated. Then, we add some celery and continue to stir and mix. Finally, we add some starch to enhance the saturation power of the meat filling and make it more difficult to break apart.
6.Take out a small handful of fresh scallion and dice them into fine onion flakes. Then, take a small piece of ginger, smash it with a pestle, and dice it into ginger slices. Put them together in a basin. These seasonings will be used to enhance the aroma and taste of the soup.
7.Next, we start frying the meatballs. Heat the pan with oil until it’s hot enough for frying. Turn off the heat or take the pan off the heat to prevent overcooking. Take a handful of meatballs and squeeze them out of the palm of your hand with a spoon. Then, put them in the pan when the oil is cool. When the oil is cold, put the pan on the fire and continue to add meatballs. Gently shake the pan to prevent the meatballs from sticking to the bottom. Before the meatballs solidify, don’t push them directly; instead, use a spoon to lightly push the oil around the edge of the pan. Gradually, the meatballs will solidify and turn into a golden yellow color. Then, take them out of the pan to cool.
8.Next, we start cooking. We heat the oil in the pot, brush in a few seeds of sichuan peppercorn powder and dried chili, stir-fry until fragrant, then add chopped green onion and ginger. Add a small pot of water, add soy sauce to enhance the flavor, add two drops of dark soy sauce to enhance the color, add two grams of salt, one gram of pepper powder, and cook until the soup boils. Turn down the heat, pour in the meatballs and cook for five minutes, allowing the meatballs to infuse the flavor. After five minutes, add a little water starch and stir to reduce the soup.
9.When the soup is ready, we finally pour in a little sesame oil to make the soup taste more rich. Then, we can remove the soup from the pot and serve it on a plate, sprinkling a little fresh chopped scallion and cilantro leaves for garnish. These green spices not only enhance the beauty of the soup, but also make the taste of the soup more rich. Now, this delicious celery meat Meat-ball soup is ready, and we can begin to enjoy the delicious food it brings.
