Signature Beef Tendon BallsOur signature beef tendon balls are made from high-quality beef tendons, finely chopped and mixed with a blend of spices, then hand-formed into round shapes. When cooked in a broth, they become tender yet chewy, offering a satisfying texture that pairs perfectly with hot pot or soup dishes.
