Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 100 grams Preserved mustard greens
- 1 medium Shallot
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Finely chop the preserved mustard greens and rinse under cold water to reduce the saltiness; drain and set aside.
Peel and mince the shallot, garlic, and ginger.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped preserved mustard greens, minced shallot, garlic, and ginger.
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, sugar, cornstarch, white pepper, and salt to the pork mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer the pork mixture to a heatproof shallow dish, spreading it out evenly.
Prepare a steamer setup by bringing water to a boil in a large pot with a steamer rack.
Once the water is boiling, place the dish with the pork mixture into the steamer. Cover and steam over medium-high heat for about 30-35 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and tender.
While the pork is steaming, wash and finely slice the green onions.
Once finished, carefully remove the dish from the steamer. Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top for garnish.
Serve the steamed pork hot alongside steamed rice or your choice of accompaniments.
