Tasty Lion Head Meat Balls with Chinese Leaves recipe by Kurumicooks Japanese cooking
This video is about how to make Lion's Head Meat Balls with Chinese Leaves.
You'll see a lot of recipes for a Chinese dish called Lion's Head meat balls - supposedly, the meat ball surrounded by cabbage looks like a lion's head - I would guess any self respecting lion would be offended by the comparison but anyway, this recipe is similar to Lion's Head meat balls but simpler as you don't fry or braise the meat balls first - you simply pop them in the broth and let them simmer for a few minutes - quicker and healthier too! The Japanese version of this dish is quite subtle in flavour - it's a little bit like a comfort food - no big hit of garlic of ginger, just a low profile taste that develops in the mouth. If it's too subtle, you can add more seasoning if you prefer!
(PS: If you leave any leftover meatballs in the broth overnight, they infuse it with more flavour!)

My Bio.
Hi, I'm Kurumi and this is my Youtube cooking space where you can find out about how to cook delicious Japanese, Asian and Fusion foods in your home. I'm Japanese but I have lived in London for the last 30 thirty years.
Back in the days before the internet (and Youtube), I was a food writer. My first book published in English was called Japanese Cooking for Two which I wrote in 1994. It has become the 9th best selling Japanese cookbook ever… yippee!
My other books were ‘The Noodle Cookbook”, “The Soy for Health Cookbook” and “Healthy Noodles.” I also published a book in Japanese “English Home Cooking”. Then I had children and my life changed!
By the time my children had grown up, the world had changed quite a lot too! Internet, Youtube etc etc. So, these days, instead of books, I publish recipe and articles on my website and on this channel. I hope you enjoy watching my tutorials - they are all tried and tested (some more times than I care to mention!) until I think you will get them right first time when you make them and enjoy eating them.
I hope you'll find it easy to follow my recipe tutorials. There's alway a link to the written recipe on my website, if you want that as well.
If you’d like to read more about me or my books, then follow the link here:
Happy cooking! Kurumi XXXX.

Super Easy Chinese Meatballs w/ Cabbage Soup Recipe 白菜狮子头汤
This Meatballs with Cabbage Soup or 白菜狮子头汤 was Super yummy for me. To be honest, I have never craved for this soup because it just seemed so simple to me. How complex can the taste of this soup be? It's just meatballs and cabbage in chicken stock. But boy was I wrong. I really think Roland is talented. Every time I tell him what I'm craving for or what i want to try and he never failed to whip up something yummy that blows my mind away. He's a good homecook and a good hubby. Yes I'm very blessed. :)
