Steamed Egg With Minced Pork 肉碎蒸蛋 Recipes

STEAMED EGG WITH MINCED PORK

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, mix ground pork with soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, garlic, ginger, white pepper powder, Chinese five spice, salt, sugar, and corn starch. Finally stir in chopped scallion and set it aside.
• Whisk eggs with warm water until smooth. Try not to incorporate too much air in it.
• Pour the egg mixture into the shallow bowl through a sift and then gently loosen and evenly distribute the pork a bit. (See the picture in the post as a reference.)
• In a pot with a lid, bring 3 cups of water to a boil over medium heat. Insert a steamer basket/rack into the pot and place the bowl on top.
• Reduce the heat to medium low and cover pot with lid, but leave a little opening and steam for 20-25 minutes or until the egg custard is set. To check whether it's cooked through, poke a hole with a chopstick and see if there's any liquid coming out, if not, then the dish is ready.
• Once it's done cooking, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes before taking it out. Drizzle with a bit of sesame oil and serve with warm rice.

• Crack eggs into a measuring cup or a medium-sized bowl. Beat them well until homogeneous.
• In a flat dish with steep walls, suitable for steaming, spread oil all around the bottom and sides to prevent the pork and egg from sticking. Then, transfer the marinated pork to the dish and spread it evenly to create a thin, flat layer along the bottom of the dish.
• Give the egg mixture a quick stir and uncover the lid.
• Carefully lift the dish out of the steamer.

Steps:

• Marinate the meat with the chicken bouillon powder, light soy sauce and sesame oil. Set it aside as you work on the egg mixture.
• Lightly mix the eggs, fish sauce and chicken bouillon powder together with the warm water until combined.
• Spread the marinated mince on a steam-safe dish.Pro Tip: Make sure that the dish is small enough to fit in your steamer.
• Hover a sieve over the dish and gently pour the egg mixture through. Scoop out any floating bubbles.
• Bring the steamer to a boil and cover the dish in plastic wrap. Place the wrapped dish inside and steam on a low-medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until just cooked.Pro Tip: To know if it's cooked, give the dish a gentle shake. The middle should wobble slightly without releasing any liquid. If it's still moist in the center, let it steam for longer in 3-5 minute intervals until it's ready.
• Meanwhile, combine the light soy sauce, water and sesame oil.
• Take the dish out and pour the sauce on top. Garnish with chopped spring onions.
• Enjoy hot as is or with rice!
