The origin of bone meal meatballs dates back to the impoverished era of food and clothing shortage. People were reluctant to throw away their leftover bones and would smash them into small pieces before making them into meatballs for consumption. They were very fragrant and were one of the delicacies of that era. In some places, they were also called bone meal meatballs.Although turning bones into meatballs was a last resort of that era, they were indeed very fragrant and even more delicious than meatballs made from pure meat. It's worth a try.There are many types of bones that can be used to make bone meal balls, such as chicken bones, pig bones, or cow bones, as well as large bones, crescent bones, or brittle bones. In other words, any bone that can be crushed can be used.
For relatively hard bones, people in the past usually crushed them in a mortar or ground them with a stone mill. However, modern people have many ways to crush bones, as long as they can crush them. No matter which method you use to crush the bone, of course, the finer the better. Crushed bones can be sieved to remove larger bone particles, while finer bone fragments can be left behind to make meatballs.In the past, people rarely ate crescent or crispy bones, and used hard bones more often. However, nowadays bone slag meatballs are constantly improving, using only crescent or crispy bones to make them. There is no need to smash or grind them, just chop them into small bone pieces with a knife, because these types of bones can be chewed directly, and the resulting bone slag meatballs have a better taste and calcium supplementation effect.
In short, if you want to make bone meal balls with a good mouthfeel, you must crush or grind the harder bones, and then sieve them thoroughly before use. For bones such as crescent or crispy bones that can be chewed directly, simply chop them into small pieces. Both types of bones can be used (in any proportion), or only one of them can be used, according to your preference. In the following methods of making bone residue meatballs, they are collectively referred to as bone residue.The method of making bone residue meatballs is not particularly different from other meatballs, except that bone residue is used as a side dish. For example, when we make meatballs, we like to add some side dishes such as diced lotus root, diced radish, or tofu. You can also treat the bone residue as a side dish. Simply put, bone residue meatballs are made by adding an appropriate amount of bone residue to traditional meatballs, resulting in bone residue meatballs.
