Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork (preferably lean)
- 100 grams preserved mustard greens
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger, finely chopped
- 50 milliliters water
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the preserved mustard greens under cold water to remove excess salt. Squeeze out any excess water and chop them finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped preserved mustard greens with the ground pork.
Add the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, white pepper, cornstarch, and sugar to the pork mixture. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Stir in the finely chopped green onions and ginger. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the water to the mixture and continue to mix, ensuring the mixture becomes sticky and holds together well.
Transfer the pork mixture into a shallow heatproof plate or dish. Use a spoon to flatten the mixture evenly.
Prepare a steamer and bring the water to a boil. Place the prepared dish in the steamer and cover with the lid.
Steam for approximately 20 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked and firm to the touch.
Carefully remove the dish from the steamer and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
