They are called lion head meatballs because they resemble the stylised guardian lions you can find outside Chinese temples and other buildings.
There are lots of versions of this dish in China but my recipe is one of the easiest. Traditionally, the dish would have been made with half-fat to lean meat. The meatballs are stewed until the fat melts. 50% fat is probably not acceptable today for most home cooks but I would not recommend using meat with less than 20% fat.
Lion's head meatballs are often served during banquets such as for Chinese New Year but they are pretty easy to make at home, if you have time to stew. You can make the meatballs in advance and are ideal as an everyday - family meal, especially if you pair the meatballs with rice or noodles.
