Steamed Pork Patty with Salted Duck Egg Recipe

Steamed Pork Patty with Salted Duck Egg Recipe

Ingredients

250 g  minced  pork  (pork mix should be 1/2 fatty pork)

1  salted Duck Egg

Marinade 

Pinch  Baking Soda

1 tsp  Sea Salt

2 tsp  soy sauce

1 1/2 tsp  sugar

1/4 tsp  white pepper

1 tsp  Shao Hsing  Rice Wine

4 drops sesame Oil

2 tbsp slivered ginger

1  Egg white (optional)

1/4 to 1/2 cupboiled room temperature water

1 1/2 tsp  Potato Starch  (or Corn Starch)

Directions:

Mix pork with all marinade ingredients except the egg white, water and starch.  Stir the pork vigorously in one direction only.  Add the egg white, starch and mix in well, still in that one direction.  Add enough room temperature water while stirring until the pork is light and fluffy.  Let mixture marinate for 10 minutes or so. Heat up steamer water to boiling.  Pat the pork into your serving dish (should be a wide low dish so that the pork patty mixture can fit comfortably with a 3/4 inch height ).  Crack the salted duck egg over the pork patty, using the whole egg or just the yolk for a prettier effect.  Place carefully into the bamboo steamer, being careful of the hot steam.  Steam over high heat for 18 minutes.  Take out and serve hot.

Tip:  For extra tastiness and a delightful crunch, add 1/2 cup chopped up water chestnuts!
