Add 50 grams of chopped shallots to mixed meat filling and mix well. Finally, add 20 grams of vegetable oil to enhance flavor of meat filling. The cooked meat filling needs to be refrigerated for more than half an hour so that Chaoshou meat filling can only be packaged after it is fully flavored.
Top Tips: 1. The meat filling needs to firm up and this step should not be skipped. 2. The ginger must be chopped. I usually use ginger juice so I can eat ginger but not see ginger. 3. The water in meat filling should be soaked in boiling water with green onion, ginger and pepper, and then used after cooling to remove fishy smell of meat filling. 4. The shallots added at end must be minced, not just chopped with green onions.

If only they were cooked in a saucepan and did not disperse, there are no strict restrictions on method of wrapping. If you want to make chaoshou a real "chaoshou", then it is also very simple. Put minced meat on skin and circle it, pinch on both sides, fold corners of both ends in half at same time, and pinch "Copy hands" overlap tightly, just wrap it It seems like two hands are really copying together, it's too bright.
