Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium, gluten-free if needed)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
- 200 grams cauliflower rice (for serving, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, salt, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped green onions, egg, and ground white pepper.
Add two tablespoons of water to the mixture to improve the texture of the pork and make it softer when steamed. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until well combined and slightly sticky.
Transfer the pork mixture into a shallow, heat-proof dish or plate that fits inside your steamer. Spread the mixture evenly and press it down gently to create a smooth, flat surface.
Prepare your steamer setup. Heat water in a steaming apparatus, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the dish holding the pork mixture.
Place the dish with the pork mixture into the steamer. Cover with the steamer lid and steam over medium-high heat for 20-25 minutes or until the pork is fully cooked. You can check by inserting a skewer or toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove the steamed minced pork from the steamer carefully as it will be very hot. Allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot, with cauliflower rice for a keto-friendly side option.
