Information About

Beef Ball




Beef ball is a commonly cooked food in Southern China and Overseas Chinese communities. As the name suggests, the ball is made of Beef that has been finely pulverized. They are easily distinguishable from Fish Ball s due to the beef balls' darker color. Another characteristic is the tiny chunks of fat on each ball that dissolve when cooked.


PRODUCTION

Nearly all Meatball s (made from pork, beef, fish, etc.) made in Asia differ significantly in texture to their counterparts with European origins. Instead of grinding and forming meats, meat used for making meatballs is pounded. This is also often the case for fillings in steamed dishes. This process is what lends a smooth texture to the meatballs. Pounding unlike grinding uncoils and stretches previously wound and tangled protein strands in meat.
