Recipe type: Pork Recipe
Cuisine: Chinese
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 300 g minced pork (a mix of lean and fatty pork)
- Mui Heong salted fish (use about 30g or more) - chopped into small pieces
- Ginger (Julienned)
Marinade
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Shao Xing wine
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp corn flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- Dash of fine sugar
- Dash of white pepper
- ¼ cup water (more if you want extra gravy)
For Garnishing
- 1/2 red chilli - deseeded and sliced
- 1 tbsp fried garlic bits and garlic oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add salt and corn flour into the pork mixture and mix well with your hands or a pair of chopsticks. Lift up the mixture and throw it into bowl 10-20 times so that it will be more 'springy'. Add the rest of the marinade ingredients into the meat and mix well. Set aside.
- Heat up oil in a frying pan. Fry the salted fish pieces until fragrant. Add half of the fried salted fish into the pork mixture and mix well. Arrange the pork into a heatproof plate and press it down with the back of a spoon to smoothen it. Add the finely sliced ginger and remaining fried salted fish on top of the pork.
- Fill a wok with about ¼ full of water, place your steaming rack in and bring it to a boil. Once the water starts boiling, place the pork dish on top of the rack. Close the cover and steam for about 10 minutes until the pork is completely cooked.
- Remove carefully from heat. Garnish with sliced chillies and drizzle with garlic oil and fried garlic bits. Serve immediately with plain rice.
Cooking Notes
1. Wear a pair of disposable plastic gloves if you do not wish to handle the raw pork with your bare hands.
