02Steps
- Prepare Salted Fish: Rinse the salted fish thoroughly. If very salty, soak in water for 15-20 minutes, then pat dry. Mince the salted fish finely.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the minced pork, finely minced salted fish, chopped water chestnuts, white part of scallions, and grated ginger.
- Season the Pork Mixture: Add light soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, cornstarch, sugar, and water to the pork mixture. Mix thoroughly by hand in one direction for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes sticky and well combined.
- Form and Steam: Transfer the seasoned pork mixture to a shallow, heatproof dish. Flatten it evenly. Place the dish into a preheated steamer.
- Steam: Steam over high heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked through and firm.
- Garnish and Serve: Carefully remove the dish from the steamer. Garnish with the remaining chopped green part of scallions. Serve hot with steamed rice.
