Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground pork
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tsp arrowroot powder
- 0.5 tsp sesame oil (optional, paleo-compliant)
- 2 tbsp water
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, finely chopped green onions, arrowroot powder, sesame oil (if using), water, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until evenly incorporated. The mixture should be slightly sticky to ensure a tender texture after steaming.
Transfer the pork mixture into a heatproof shallow dish or plate that will fit inside your steamer. Flatten the pork mixture using a spoon or spatula to create an even layer for uniform cooking.
Set up a steaming apparatus by bringing water to a boil in a large pot or wok and placing a steamer insert or stand above the water level. Ensure the water does not touch the dish.
Place the dish of minced pork into the steamer, cover with a lid, and steam over medium-high heat for approximately 15 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and firm to the touch.
Carefully remove the dish from the steamer using tongs or oven mitts. Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired.
Serve hot alongside steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete paleo-friendly meal.
