AI Technical Summary
Existing yam meatball processing technology mostly uses high-temperature frying technology, which easily produces carcinogens such as benzopyrene and acrylamide, and is not in line with modern healthy eating concepts.
The yam meatballs are made by steaming. The yam minced meat, pork filling and other seasonings are mixed together, and then squeezed into ball-shaped meatballs with the thumb and index finger. The meatballs are then steamed in a steamer to avoid high-temperature frying.
It achieves the goal of not producing carcinogens, maintaining the nutritional value of yam and pork, and meeting the needs of a healthy diet.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing, and in particular to a method for steaming yam meatballs. Background Art
[0002] Chinese yam is rich in various nutrients, including starch, dietary fiber, mucin, vitamins (such as vitamin C and B vitamins), minerals (potassium, magnesium, and iron), and active substances (polysaccharides and saponins). It helps promote digestion, regulate blood sugar, and enhance immunity, making it suitable for most people as a healthy dietary supplement.
[0003] Pork has a sweet, salty and neutral taste and is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, iron, phosphorus and other nutrients. Pork is a staple food in daily life, nourishing the body, moisturizing the body, and strengthening the muscles and skin.
[0004] The meatballs are made with yam and pork as the main ingredients. They have a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables, and have great taste and nutritional value. They are a delicious dish suitable for people of all ages.
[0005] Existing yam meatball processing technology mostly uses high-temperature frying, which easily produces carcinogens such as benzopyrene and acrylamide, which are harmful to human health. Steaming yam meatballs avoids high-temperature frying and conforms to the modern concept of healthy eating. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Step 4: Steam the meatballs
[0016] Put the spherical meatballs made in the third step into the steamer, steam them over high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, then turn to low heat and steam for 20 to 30 minutes, and finally complete the steamed yam meatballs.
[0017] Furthermore, the fresh yam variety in the first step is Tuanbao yam from Lichuan, Hubei.
[0018] Furthermore, the pork in the second step is pork front leg meat, and the weight ratios of fat and lean meat are 20-40% and 60-80% respectively.
[0019] The present invention provides a method for steaming yam meatballs. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
