Chinese Lion’s Head Soup (狮子头汤, Shīzi Tóu Tāng) is a classic dish from Jiangsu cuisine, particularly popular in Shanghai. It consists of large, tender pork meatballs simmered in a flavorful broth, often accompanied by napa cabbage. The name “Lion’s Head” comes from the meatballs’ resemblance to a lion’s mane when surrounded by cabbage leaves.
