Hello my followers, Why don't I introduce myself again. My name is Katrina, and I am the blogger behind both Living Better Cafe and Coffee Talk. Yes I enjoy eating food like, I hope you all enjoy eating as much as I do. Well, I of course have a story to share with you, as I hope you enjoy reading this wonderful story. This story however about this recipe. It was a fall or winter day, when my mother was in the kitchen cooking up this dish, which I tell you was yummy. I became excited watching her prepare everything that goes into this dish. When I looked down to read a book and in the book it said: "Lion Head Soup", I grew even more exited because it was something different, and I love trying new dishes. Especially, this dish right here. And no there really is no real lion head in the soup, as Coffee Talk will post very soon. So, after the dish was completely finished cooking, I of course eat the soup and feel in love with it. So, Why don't I hand it back over to Coffee Talk.

Thank You Katrina :) Why that's a very nice story there, and now it's time for Coffee Talk to show you something furthermore about this recipe. Lion Head is just the name of this Shanghai-style meatball. What an Asian style cuisine!, As this recipe calls for "Pork", Which Coffee Talk will substitute it for Turkey, or Chicken.
