Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp shrimp paste
- 1 tsp soy sauce for meatloaf
- 1 tbsp soy sauce for curing egg
- 2 eggs, 1 with egg whites and yolk separated
- ⅛ white pepper
- ½ tbsp water
- 1 tsp oil
- Optional: 4 shiitake mushrooms
Instructions
- Crack an egg and use the shells to separate egg yolk from egg whites. Keep egg yolk in a small bowl and add 1 tbsp soy sauce. Place egg yolk in the refrigerator for a quick cure until the dish is served.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, corn starch, shrimp paste, soy sauce, white pepper, water, egg, and egg white from cured egg yolk. Mix together until fully incorporated.
- If using shiitake mushrooms, soak in warm water to hydrate. Once hydrated, slice into small pieces and add with mixture.
- Add 3 cups of water in a wok on medium heat. Using a steaming plate, pour mixture into plate and use the back of a spoon to smooth out the surface until completely flattened.
- Once water is boiling, place meatloaf in a steamer and close the lid. Steam for 8-9 minutes depending on thickness of mixture.
- After 8-9 minutes, check the cook of the meat loaf by using the back of the spoon to press the meatloaf. If meatloaf is firm without bloody juices seeping out, then it’s cooked.
- Take out cured egg yolk from the refrigerator and lightly pour on top of the meatloaf. Garnish with fresh cut green onions and serve.
