Woo Can Cook (live) | Japanese White Miso Curry (Gah-Li Gai), AMA! (Copy)

Hi there hello everyone! Tonight we're making a Shanghainese dish called "Lion's Head Meatballs." This was one of my favorites when I was a kid. “Shizitou” is a Chinese wok seared meatball braised in an oyster sauce base, and sauteed with veggies.
