Step 1
Finely chop the green onions and grate the fresh ginger.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced pork, soy sauce, cornstarch, water, grated ginger, chopped green onions, sesame oil, salt, white pepper, and sugar.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients well using your hands or a spatula until thoroughly combined. The mixture should feel slightly sticky yet firm.

Once the water is boiling, carefully place the dish with the minced pork on the steaming rack.
Step 7
Cover with a lid and steam over medium heat for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked and firm to the touch.
Step 8
Remove the dish from the steamer using oven mitts or tongs. Be cautious of the hot steam.
