Treat your ingredients with care...
- Goose necks — Ensure that the goose necks are properly cleaned and free from any feathers or impurities before stuffing.
- Minced pork — Use lean minced pork for a healthier option, or a combination of lean and fatty pork for added flavor and juiciness.
- Mushrooms — Choose fresh mushrooms with a firm texture, such as shiitake or button mushrooms, for the best results.
- Water chestnuts — Look for canned or fresh water chestnuts, and dice them into small pieces to add a delightful crunch to the stuffing mixture.
- Jiangxi spices — Adjust the amount of star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, and dried chili flakes according to your preferred level of spiciness.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the minced pork mixture overnight in the refrigerator before stuffing the goose necks.
- If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of Sichuan peppercorns and dried chili flakes.
- Serve the stuffed goose necks with a side of steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
- Experiment with different fillings by adding ingredients like diced bell peppers, bamboo shoots, or chestnut mushrooms to the stuffing mixture.
