What a heartwarming story! I’m so happy to hear you’ve created a special bond with you son through Chinese food. I completely understand his affection for cabbage. I feel the same way!

I’m a pretty basic white girl (lol) with a son adopted from China so when we had friends over to celebrate lunar new year I wanted to serve them something authentic alongside our beloved Panda Express. I chose this recipe since it would be easy to prepare the day before. It was absolutely delicious!! I struggle to find the Ingredients I’m looking for when I go to the Chinese grocery so I settled on fresh oyster mushrooms and chicken broth in lieu of soaking the dried mushrooms. It still was extremely tasty. Thank you for your blog and the lovely recipes. Nothing makes my son happier than a plate of real Chinese cooking… especially if it contains cabbage in any form!

You can deep fry the meatballs in advance and cook the soup on the day. This is exactly how I prepare this dish for big feast. Wish you a lovely celebration and a wonderful Year of the Dragon!

Is there any way I can pre cook the meatballs or the entire dish and serve the next day? I’m preparing the CNY menu for my family and it’s so much work 😅

Yes, air-frying is a healthier alternative. Hope you enjoyed the dish Cristina!

I am cooking them right now. Instead of frying I am trying the lion’s heads in the airfrier.
I know the soup will look and taste delicious.
I will check out your other recipes. Living far from the city I have ti satisfy my cravings😂
Thank you!!!🩷

How wonderful to hear that! Yes, it doesn’t matter how it looks as long as the taste is spot on. So happy to know you enjoyed the dish Ming!

Second time trying this and the flavour’s fantastic! We devoured them so didn’t get a picture until too late, this time I took one after the initial fry. We don’t mind the shape much and care more about wasting a bunch of oil from deep frying, so we shallow fry. Subsequent shape aside it’s almost the same as what we have back home in China! Thank you so much for the recipe!
