Golden Branch Red Yeast Pork Ball Introduction
The name "Jin Zhi Red Yeast Meatball" is renowned because the restaurant is meticulous about every step of the production process and the selection of ingredients. The red yeast meatballs are handmade, from the production and fermentation of red yeast to the wrapping of 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 pork belly, which is marinated in the red yeast to absorb the flavor, resulting in a tender texture that is not too tough. Several spices are added, including five-spice powder, star anise powder, black pepper powder, and cinnamon powder. The shredded bamboo shoots inside are made from fresh bamboo shoots sourced from Zhushan; the wrapping made of flour is also not arbitrary, using a blend of three flours: tapioca flour, sweet potato flour, and traditional rice flour, which gives it a smooth and chewy texture.
