Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork (preferably lean)
- 100 grams preserved mustard greens
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger, finely chopped
- 50 milliliters water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the preserved mustard greens under cold water to remove excess salt. Squeeze out any excess water and chop them finely.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped preserved mustard greens with the ground pork.
Step 3
Add the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, white pepper, cornstarch, and sugar to the pork mixture. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Stir in the finely chopped green onions and ginger. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Add the water to the mixture and continue to mix, ensuring the mixture becomes sticky and holds together well.
Step 6
Transfer the pork mixture into a shallow heatproof plate or dish. Use a spoon to flatten the mixture evenly.
Step 7
Prepare a steamer and bring the water to a boil. Place the prepared dish in the steamer and cover with the lid.
Step 8
Steam for approximately 20 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked and firm to the touch.
Step 9
Carefully remove the dish from the steamer and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
