Fragrant straw meat

This is a genuine street snack, one that can be found in every stall. It uses a meat, such as chicken or beef formed into a ball, and wrapped in a thin layer of bean curd, then a layer of vanilla, and finally steamed. But don’t be mislead, the fragrance of the straw is not vanilla, but a fragrant local grass that gives the meatballs a delicate smell and very nice flavor.
