LIONS HEAD MEATBALLS

I’ve had this dish on my wish list since I ate it in flushing chinatown last year.

Simpler than I expected, and very flavorful.

My changes:
— Turkey instead of pork, but 10% fat, not lean).
— Added black mushrooms which were in some other recipes.
— No egg, just cornstarch to bind.
— Instead of deep frying, I used my appe pan.
— I wanted a soupy outcome rather than a sauce, so I used chicken bone broth instead of water and skipped the cornstarch.
