The traditional preparation method of this dish begins with mixing the pork fat with flour and then rolling it into circular forms. Flour is mixed with warm water to form [[sphere]]s, which are then soaked in [[boiling]] water. After the flour sphere is taken out of the boiling water, the process is repeated three times, and finally they are mixed with [[Eggs as food|eggs]] to form a [[Paste (food)|paste]]. The pork fat covered with [[flour]] is then cut into pieces and each piece is covered with the paste made of flour and egg, and [[Deep frying|deep fried]]. Honey is [[stew]]ed until its colour turns dark, then the fried pork fat spheres covered with paste are dipped into the honey, and the dish is served. Before serving, other [[ingredient]]s such as [[sugar]] can be added. Usually, for every three hundred [[gram]]s of pork fat, two hundred grams of honey and two eggs are used. Due to its high sugar content and the usage of pork fat, it is considered unhealthy and thus not commonly prepared or consumed. == References == {{Reflist}} {{Beijing cuisine}} {{Portal bar|Food|China}} [[Category:Beijing cuisine]] [[Category:Chinese pork dishes]] {{China-cuisine-stub}}'
