Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 200 grams preserved mustard greens
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons green onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 large cabbage leaves
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Start by rinsing the preserved mustard greens under cold water to reduce the saltiness. Drain and chop them finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped preserved mustard greens, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, coconut aminos, white pepper, and salt. Add the egg and mix everything well until fully combined.
Prepare your steaming setup: a large pot with a steaming rack will work well, or a dedicated steamer.
Line a heatproof dish or steamer tray with the cabbage leaves to prevent sticking and add flavor.
Spoon the pork mixture onto the cabbage leaves, spreading it evenly but not too thickly, so it cooks thoroughly.
Bring water in the steamer pot to a boil over high heat, then place the dish with the pork mixture on the steaming rack.
Cover the pot and steam the pork mixture over medium heat for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.
Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with extra chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot, either with cauliflower rice or on its own.
