Ingredients
Pork patty:
- ½ lb lean ground pork (豬絞肉)
- 1 teaspoon light soy sauce (生抽)
- ½ teaspoon oyster sauce (蠔油)
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar (砂糖)
- ⅛ teaspoon white pepper (胡椒粉)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (玉米澱粉)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (麻油)
- 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine (紹興酒)
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce (魚露)
- ¼ C ice water (冰水)
- 1 tablespoon julienned ginger (姜絲)
Garnish: (optional)
- 2 tablespoon pickled/preserved mustard greens (醃菜/芥菜) chopped
- 1 tablespoon green onions (蔥) chopped
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, white pepper, cornstarch, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, fish sauce and ice water.
- Use a pair of chopsticks and mix the meat and seasonings in one direction, until long strands of protein form and the meat forms together into a paste.
- Note: If you don't want to do this and have an electric mixer, you can throw the meat and seasonings into a stand mixer bowl fitted with a paddle attachment and mix, in the same manner as making Vietnamese Beef Balls.
- Transfer the meat into a shallow dish and spread into a thin layer.
- Create a divot in the middle and add julienned ginger.
- Bring a pot or wok full of water up to a boil.
- Add the pork meat patty to the steaming rack in a pot of boiling water and cover with a lid.
- Steam for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.
- Remove from heat and garnish with pickled mustard greens and green onions.
- Serve hot with steamed rice.
