Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams lean minced pork
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon oyster sauce (low-fat, optional)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 green onion
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, add the lean minced pork, low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), cornstarch, sesame oil, grated ginger, water, white pepper, and salt.
Use a fork or clean hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients until well combined and the mixture has a slightly sticky consistency.
Transfer the pork mixture to a heatproof dish or shallow bowl suitable for steaming. Use the back of a spoon to press and flatten the mixture evenly into the dish.
Sprinkle the finely sliced green onions evenly over the top of the pork mixture for added flavor and presentation.
Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil in a pot. Place the dish with the pork mixture into the steamer basket, ensuring it is level and stable.
Cover the pot with a lid and steam the minced pork over medium heat for 18–20 minutes, or until it is fully cooked and firm to the touch. Ensure the internal temperature of the pork reaches at least 160°F (71°C).
Carefully remove the dish from the steamer. Allow the pork to rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Serve the low-fat steamed minced pork warm, accompanied by steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a balanced meal.
