Four-Joy Chinese Meatballs Recipe (Meat Balls Braised with Brown Sauce)

Four-Joy Meatballs (Meat Balls Braised with Brown Sauce) is a popular Henan food with low fat meat and crushed steamed buns as the primary components. The authentic Chinese full name for this meal is 'Si Xi Wan Zi', in case you find yourself in China; you most likely have to point out this accent, so as not to puzzle the waitress.

Some assume that the "Four Joys" suggests "welfare, durability, joy and success"; while some others point out that, it means the "4 happiest celebrations in one's life, specifically, to have a long-felt need fulfilled, prosper in an authorities evaluation, experience at a wedding night and fulfill an old buddy in a far-off land".
This meal is a genuinely role model, demonstrating how Chinese prefer to have fun with countersigns and identical accents.
