Sauces Beef BallsSauces牛丸 (Sauces Beef Balls) are made primarily from beef, mixed with a secret blend of seasonings, then minced into a meat paste and shaped into balls. The unique feature is that the balls contain a savory broth inside; during cooking, the high temperature melts the inner broth, causing it to flow out when bitten, delivering a delicious flavor.
