| 美味弹牙的鸡肉丸汤 |
孩子每每放假回来，回去开学前， 我都会做些肉丸子，分每包4颗，冷冻起来让他们带去宿舍， 煮面时可以加料， 添增营养。
这原本讲述3种肉丸制作方法的博文已经做出了更改， 邱妈咪把这3种肉丸的做法分开记载， 方便新手妈妈及美眉们参考，不会看的晕头转向，嘻嘻。。。脆口猪肉丸（贡丸）做法/Bouncy Pork Ball
弹跳牛肉丸做法/ Bouncy Beef Ball
Ingredients
A) 1000 gm chicken breast/pork/beef, cut to smaller pieces and freeze for 2～3 hours. 4 tspn Sugar，
4 tspn salt， 2 tspn baking powder。1/2 tspn of lye water (optional) diluted into 2 tablespoon of icy water.
1. 1000 克鸡胸肉， 把鸡胸横切成5mm薄片，稍微结冰后才用来打成肉酱。
2. 4茶匙糖， 4茶匙盐
3. 2茶匙发粉。
4. 1/2 茶匙的碱水， 加入2汤匙的冰水内稀释待用。（随意， 可不用）
B) 2 eggs - chilled in the refrigerator before use。
2 粒蛋- 先放入冰箱冷藏。
C) Other ingredients:
2 Tbsp cooking oil or sesame oil or fried garlic oil or the combination of any 3 kind of oils according to your preference，2 Tbsp corn flour，and dash of white pepper or black pepper
（C)其他材料：
2汤匙蒜头油或麻油或食油或3种油依口味混合，2汤匙玉米粉， 少许胡椒粉。
D)可以随意选择加入其中一或两种以下的调味材料作出变化：
Add anyone of the following flavour enhancer to enrich the flavor (Optional):
Chopped Garlic/ 蒜末
Chopped Black Mushroom/香菇末
Chopped Chinese celery stem/芹菜末
Chopped Spring Onion/葱末Fried chopped dried prawn or cattle fish /炸虾米或炸鱿鱼末（切末后才炸）
Method
分做2批次， 每1次把500g的鸡肉片放入食物调理机内，开动机器， 慢慢加入1 粒蛋液搅打1分钟，接着下1汤匙稀释的碱水再搅打1分钟，搅打至成肉酱，在调理机继续转动的情况下， 先加入2茶匙的糖搅打1分钟，接着加入2茶匙的盐搅打1分钟，最后下1茶匙的发粉打最后1分钟（整个过程大约4～5分钟）。完成后再重复调理另外一批。如果您的调理机是小型号的，您就得斟酌分3批次或4批次调理了。建议您投资一个食物调理机， Philips HR7761 （USD110) 型号 或 Philips HR7774 （USD350) 都很理想，杯子中间无孔的设计不会漏浆。
1. Mince the chicken in 2 batches in a food processor until a paste is form. For each batch gradually add in 1 egg mixture , keep processing for 1 minute, than add in 1tablespoonful of diluted lye water and run for 1 minute to form a smooth paste. While keeping the machine running, add in 2tspn of sugar, process for 1 minute, than add in 2 tsp salt and keep the machine running for another 1 minute and lastly 1 tspn of baking powder to process for the final 1 minute.(total processing time is 4~5minutes). If your machine size is small, it is advisable to process in 3 or 4 batches for best result.
2. Combine all the 2 batches of chicken paste from the food processor in a large mixing bowl. Pour in all the (C) ingredients and mix into the paste， stir slowly (in one direction) for at about 8 ~ 10 minutes, (use either your hand or a spatula). Or an electric mixer. I have heard some people used bread machine to knead the meat paste by using dough kneading function. They start straight from the mince beef or pork plus all otehr ingredients, and knead for 2 rounds.

3. Cover bowl and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
4. 煮滚一锅水， 水滚后熄火或转成最小火， 这时可以加入喜欢的一种或更多（D)调味材料进肉酱里增加风味。搅拌均匀後开始挤肉丸。
4. Boil a pot of water. Put out the fire once the water has boiled and start the meatball squeezing process， you may add in any one or more of ingredient （D) of your choice into the meat paste now. Stir evenly before starting to squeeze the meat ball.
5. 先把手弄湿， 用虎口挤肉酱， 再用个1/2汤匙的圆底量匙舀起肉丸， 放进热水内。每打个肉丸， 把汤匙沾水一次， 免得肉酱粘在匙上。
5. Scoop the paste onto your wet hand. Push the paste through your thumb and 2nd finger by making a fist. Use a wet 1/2 Tablespoon measurement spoon to scoop and drop it into the hot water. To prevent the paste from sticking to the spoon, wet the spoon with water.
6. Continue until the chicken balls filled up the bottom layer in of the pot. Now turn on the medium heat, caution: do not let it boil. When the water temperature reaches about 80 degree C, turn to lowest flame and covered the pot and simmer for about 5 minutes....if not your chicken balls will not have 'bounce'. While cooking the chicken balls, any leftover paste should be kept in the freezer.

7. 在个大盆子内放冰水， 把焖好的肉丸捞起，投入冰水急速降温，以免肉丸表面干黑。
7. Fill a big basin with icy cold water. Scoop out the chicken balls and let them cooled in the cold water.
8. 没吃完的肉丸分小包冷冻起来， 以备用。
8. After the chicken balls have cooled, use as required or freeze.
9. 煮肉丸子的高汤滋味甜美，不要浪费哟，用来下面或煮肉粥都很好。
The stock after making the meatball is very nutricious and tasty, good for cooking noodles or meat porridge.
Please refer to the following video which I downloaded from Neckredrecipes.blogspot.com
in this video, icy water is used instead of egg mixture.
