Methods/Steps

When buying beef, choose tender beef with less tendons. Soak the meat in clean water for about 20 minutes to remove the blood, then take it out and wash it clean. While the meat is soaking, you can prepare other ingredients first.

Pour out the egg white and set aside, keep the egg yolk and cook it in soup with beef meatballs later and feed it to your baby.

Take out a little starch, add a little water and mix well for later use. Only the green onion leaves are needed and cut into small pieces for later use.

Then start chopping the beef. You can cut it into small pieces first and then start chopping. During the chopping process, you need to remove the tendons with a knife. Make sure it is all beef. Chop it carefully, the more minced the better. The process is actually not very difficult, because the baby eats a small amount, so it can be chopped quickly.

After the beef is chopped, put it in a bowl, add the chopped onions, a little salt, and starch water. There is not much starch water. Use your hands to knead it thoroughly so that the beef and starch are fully blended. After a few minutes, add the egg white and knead thoroughly with your hands.
