Lion's head meatballs are either red-braised or clear-stewed, and I prefer the clear-stewed ones.
Tips
usage
清, 'clear', means no soy sauce: the broth stays pale and light and the meat keeps its own flavour. The contrast is 红烧, braising dark in soy sauce and sugar. Winter favourites include 清炖羊肉, clear-stewed mutton.
