Nutrition (per serving)

Ingredients

• 300g Minced pork (with some fat)
• 2 Salted egg yolks, roughly chopped (or 1 whole salted egg, white and yolk, chopped)
• 60g Water chestnuts, peeled and finely diced
• 1 tbsp Light soy sauce
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1/2 tsp White pepper
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1 tbsp Water
• 1 tsp Cooking oil (for drizzling)

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine minced pork, chopped salted egg yolks, diced water chestnuts, light soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, white pepper, cornstarch, and water.
2. Mix thoroughly by hand for 3-5 minutes until the mixture becomes sticky and well-combined, making sure to work the meat in one direction.
3. Transfer the pork mixture to a heatproof shallow dish or plate, pressing it down evenly to form a patty.
4. Bring water to a boil in a steamer. Once boiling, place the dish with the pork patty into the steamer.
5. Steam for 12-15 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
6. Remove from steamer. Drizzle with cooking oil before serving hot with rice.
