02Steps
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, water chestnut starch, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, white pepper, water, and minced ginger.
- Mix well in one direction until the mixture is sticky and well combined. This helps create a springy texture.
- Transfer the seasoned pork mixture to a heatproof shallow dish and flatten it into an even patty. Make a slight indentation in the center for the egg yolks.
- Place the salted egg yolks on top of the pork patty.
- Bring water in a steamer to a rolling boil. Place the dish with the pork patty into the steamer.
- Steam for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork patty is cooked through and the egg yolks are set.
- Carefully remove from the steamer. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional) and serve immediately with hot rice.
