Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g minced pork
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp fresh ginger
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp white pepper
- 0.5 tsp sugar
Instructions
Finely chop the green onions and grate the fresh ginger.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced pork, soy sauce, cornstarch, water, grated ginger, chopped green onions, sesame oil, salt, white pepper, and sugar.
Mix the ingredients well using your hands or a spatula until thoroughly combined. The mixture should feel slightly sticky yet firm.
Shape the pork mixture into a patty or spread it evenly in a shallow, heatproof dish that fits comfortably inside your steamer.
Fill a large wok or pot with about 2-3 inches of water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Ensure the steaming rack is stable and above the water level.
Once the water is boiling, carefully place the dish with the minced pork on the steaming rack.
Cover with a lid and steam over medium heat for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked and firm to the touch.
Remove the dish from the steamer using oven mitts or tongs. Be cautious of the hot steam.
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into portions. Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of sides.
