Ingredients

• 500 grams ground pork
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, Whole30 compliant)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Mince the garlic and finely grate the ginger. Thinly slice the green onions, separating the whites from the greens.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, green onion whites, sesame oil (if using), sea salt, ground white pepper, and eggs.

Step 3

Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Add 3 tablespoons of water and mix again to ensure the mixture is smooth and slightly airy.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture into a shallow, heat-proof dish (such as a pie dish) that fits inside your steamer basket. Use the back of a spoon to flatten the surface.

Step 5

Bring a pot of water to a boil and set up your steaming apparatus. Make sure there's enough water in the pot to steam for 20 minutes, but not so much that it touches the bottom of the steaming basket or rack.

Step 6

Place the dish in the steamer basket and cover with a lid. Steam over medium heat for 18-20 minutes, or until the minced pork is fully cooked and firm to the touch. Avoid lifting the lid during the steaming process to retain heat.

Step 7

Once the dish is cooked, carefully remove it from the steamer and sprinkle the green onion greens on top for garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice to keep it Whole30 compliant.
