An Overview On How To Cook Steamed Meat With Salted Egg

To start, first chop some ginger, garlic and spring onions. Fry the chopped garlic till golden brown and set aside for garnishing later. Wash, clean salted eggs and separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Then cut each egg yolk in halves. Mince some meat and mix well with the salted egg whites. Then add in chopped ginger and spring onion and mix well again. Lastly add in the seasonings, some cornflour and water. Mix well into a sticky paste.

Then spread the meat patty onto a shallow steaming plate with a rim and top with the cut egg yolks. Then transfer the plate to a prepared steamer. Cover and steam using high heat for about 20 minutes, till the meat is cooked. And we are done!

Remove and serve immediately with hot steamed rice or even porridge. Add on a simple plate of vegetables and that would sum up a wholesome meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use a good cut of pork/meat with enough fat for flavour and texture.
  • Try to mince the meat by hand than getting ready ground meat.
  • Be sure to use a shallow plate, with a rim for steaming to have the best effect.
  • Use the freshest salted duck eggs you can find.
  • There will be tasty juices in the steaming plate, great for spooning over rice. The meat will slowly reabsorb these juices as it sits, so it’s best to eat immediately when served.
  • Lay out the minced meat on the shallow plate, ensuring even thickness around the plate for even cooking.

Oh where, oh where, are you finding your Salted Duck Eggs? Please do share… I live in Southern California where SDEs are such a rare and “golden” commodity! The only kind i am able to find on the occasion are the precooked ones which are usually pale and grey, most often so sad looking. They never ever look like the photo on their deceiving box. I have been often disappointed.
I can’t even begin to express my joy and excitement at the fact that you have highlighted my all time FAVORITE childhood comfort food from my mother! I didn’t think anyone else on this planet even cared about this homey little plate anymore. I tried making this for my twin boys (Eurasian by their father), they were not impressed. The subtle flavors did not make the same impression on them.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think the salted duck eggs can be bought in most Asian grocery stores.
