Golden Branch Red Rice Wine Meat Ball Introduction
The reason for the fame of Jin Zhi Red Yeast Meatballs lies in the meticulousness regarding every aspect of the production process and ingredient selection. For the red yeast meatballs, everything is handmade, from making and fermenting the red yeast to wrapping the meatballs. The red yeast is specifically selected to begin fermentation only after autumn, and once fermented, it must be sealed. The meat used in the meatballs is chosen from high-quality shoulder meat, marinated in red yeast to ensure that it is flavorful and has a tender texture without being too tough. Various spices, including five-spice powder, star anise powder, pepper powder, and cinnamon powder, are also added. The bamboo shoot shreds inside are made from fresh bamboo shoots sourced from Zhushan. Additionally, the wrapping of the meatballs is not random; it is made from a blend of three types of flour: sweet potato starch, tapioca starch, and indigenous rice flour, resulting in a smooth and chewy texture.
