02Steps
  1. In a large bowl, combine minced pork, chopped salted egg yolks, diced water chestnuts, light soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, white pepper, cornstarch, and water.
  2. Mix thoroughly by hand for 3-5 minutes until the mixture becomes sticky and well-combined, making sure to work the meat in one direction.
  3. Transfer the pork mixture to a heatproof shallow dish or plate, pressing it down evenly to form a patty.
  4. Bring water to a boil in a steamer. Once boiling, place the dish with the pork patty into the steamer.
  5. Steam for 12-15 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  6. Remove from steamer. Drizzle with cooking oil before serving hot with rice.
