I was asked to make some wagyu hot dogs for someone using their ground wagyu. I froze the ground meat in strips and ran through grinder then made back into strips and froze again. 45 mins later I ran through grinder, added my seasonings and ran through grinder again while it was very cold. I added to kitchenaid in 3 lb batches and added ice water slowly while mixing. Emulsion was good. I didn't add enough water so when stuffing the mixture came around the seal due to pressue. I continued stuffing until I got to the bottom. By the time I got the meat that had come around the seal, it had lost its emulsion. 4 lbs of the 6 lb batch! Can I do something to the meat to get the emulsion back? Like adding to blender and adding ice chips? Anything??? It's a huge pain in the butt to make, and I hate wasting so much time (and meat). Plus, the flavor is awesome and I really want to make the other 4 lbs! Thanks!
