Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground pork
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1.5 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice wine (optional, for flavor)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, finely chopped green onions, and minced garlic.
Add the low sodium soy sauce, rice wine (if using), ground white pepper, toasted sesame oil, and cornstarch to the pork mixture.
Slowly add the cold water and use your hands or a spoon to mix everything until the pork becomes sticky and well combined.
Transfer the pork mixture to a shallow heatproof dish and flatten it into an even layer using a spoon.
Bring water to a boil in a large pot or wok equipped with a steam rack or steamer setup.
Once the water is boiling, place the dish on the steam rack, cover with a lid, and steam on medium-high heat for 20–25 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked (the internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C).
Carefully remove the dish from the steamer. Drain any excess liquid if necessary and garnish with additional chopped green onions for presentation.
Serve warm with steamed rice or vegetables for a nutritious low-sodium meal.
