Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 150 grams ground pork
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 medium shallot
• 1 teaspoon oil
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons sugar
• 4 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

In a small pan, heat 1 teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Finely dice the shallot and sauté until fragrant and translucent. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, crack in the 6 large eggs and whisk well until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Add 4 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Finely chop the green onions and add to the egg mixture. Also, add the sautéed shallots for added flavor.

Step 4

In a separate pan, cook the ground pork over medium heat until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

Add the cooked ground pork to the egg mixture and stir gently to evenly distribute.

Step 6

Prepare a heatproof dish that fits into your steamer. Lightly grease the dish to prevent sticking. Pour the egg and meat mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bring 2-3 cups of water to a boil in a steamer pot. Place the dish in the steamer, ensuring it is level, and cover with a lid wrapped in a kitchen towel to avoid water droplets falling onto the quiche.

Step 8

Steam over medium heat for 20-25 minutes or until the quiche is fully set. To check doneness, insert a toothpick or skewer into the center; it should come out clean.

Step 9

Carefully remove the dish from the steamer and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice into portions and serve warm.
