Lion's Head is a dish from the Huaiyang cuisine of eastern China, consisting of large pork meatballs stewed with vegetables.

This is a list of notable meatball dishes. A meatball is ground or minced meat rolled into a small ball, sometimes along with other ingredients, such as bread crumbs, minced onion, eggs, butter, and seasoning.[1] Meatballs are cooked by frying, baking, steaming, or braising in sauce. There are many types of meatballs using different types of meats and spices, and most cuisines have a version of the dish.[2] Sometimes the beef stock in the gravy is replaced with 100% chicken gravy.
