Ingredients

  • 300 g minced pork 70% lean, 30% fat
  • 50 g Meigan cai
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp peanut oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the Preserved Vegetables: Soak the preserved vegetables in water for 30 minutes. Rinse them again and drain well.
  • Mince the Pork: Use a knife to finely chop the pork until minced. Add the soaked preserved vegetables and chop them together with the pork.
  • Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine the minced pork and preserved vegetables with light soy sauce, oyster sauce, peanut oil, and cornstarch. Mix well and give the mixture a light massage with your hands for about 2 minutes until it feels slightly sticky. Then, grab the meat patty and smack it against the bowl a few times. This helps to improve the texture and ensure it holds together well.
  • Shape the Patty: Form the mixture into a patty and place it in a bowl. Flatten it evenly to ensure it cooks uniformly.
  • Steam the Patty: Bring water to a boil in a steamer. Place the bowl in the steamer and steam for 15 minutes.
  • Finish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions. The steamed meat patty should be tender and juicy, perfect for serving with rice or noodles. Enjoy the savory juices that can be used as a delicious sauce for your meal.
