Ingredients

• 500 g ground pork
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 tsp arrowroot powder
• 0.5 tsp sesame oil (optional, paleo-compliant)
• 2 tbsp water
• 0.5 tsp sea salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, finely chopped green onions, arrowroot powder, sesame oil (if using), water, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until evenly incorporated. The mixture should be slightly sticky to ensure a tender texture after steaming.

Step 3

Transfer the pork mixture into a heatproof shallow dish or plate that will fit inside your steamer. Flatten the pork mixture using a spoon or spatula to create an even layer for uniform cooking.

Step 4

Set up a steaming apparatus by bringing water to a boil in a large pot or wok and placing a steamer insert or stand above the water level. Ensure the water does not touch the dish.

Step 5

Place the dish of minced pork into the steamer, cover with a lid, and steam over medium-high heat for approximately 15 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and firm to the touch.

Step 6

Carefully remove the dish from the steamer using tongs or oven mitts. Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired.

Step 7

Serve hot alongside steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete paleo-friendly meal.
