These are commonly known as Tangmianjin and are wrapped by water gluten and stuffed with a mixture of minced chicken breast, fresh shrimp meat, pork leg, green onion, ginger, rice wine and other flavorings. The meatballs are boiled in chicken soup and have a thin pastry, tender fillings and a fine color. Professor Chen Congzhou, a famous architect, stated that the delicacy features the tastes of steamed buns stuffed with pork, wonton and steamed meat dumplings, so it is often called "three-flavored meatballs".
