- Flatten the meat cake. Dig a hole in the center and place the salted duck egg yolk or a fresh egg. I use fresh egg this time. Steam for around 15 minutes to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of your meat cake.
- Transfer the mixture to steaming bowls. Flatten carefully.
- Dig a small hole in the center to hold the yolk; Steam for around 15 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of your meat cake.
