Crack open the 2 salted eggs and separate the egg yolks from the whites using the eggshells. Pour the egg whites into a bowl and set the yolks on a plate, clearing away any remaining egg white attached to the yolks.

Watch out

Clean off attached egg white from the yolks completely

otherwise, a white film will form on the yolks after steaming

warningStay safe

Wash hands and utensils thoroughly after touching raw pork and raw salted eggs to prevent cross-contamination.

Place 400g minced pork into a large mixing bowl, then add 2g salt, 5g sugar, 13g fish sauce, 4g light soy sauce, 3g dark soy sauce, and 1 salted egg white.

Watch out

Use only 1 salted egg white for seasoning

otherwise, the pork patty will turn out overly salty and tough

Add 24g cornstarch and the first batch of about 40g water to the pork. Stir rapidly with chopsticks in one direction until water is absorbed; then pour in the remaining 45g water and continue stirring vigorously in the same direction until the mixture turns sticky, gelatinous, and forms a smooth meat paste.

Watch out

Add water in two batches and stir strictly in one direction

otherwise, the meat will not absorb water properly and will turn out dry

Transfer the meat paste onto a shallow steaming plate. Use chopsticks to push the meat paste from the outer edges toward the center, shaping it into a thick mound higher in the middle like a small hill.

Watch out

Do not press the patty flat

keeping it shaped into a high mound locks in the abundant meat juices

Use chopsticks to poke several deep holes all around the meat mound, then place the 4 halved salted egg yolks on top of the pork patty.

Watch out

Poking holes allows hot steam to penetrate the center, ensuring the thick patty cooks through completely.

warningStay safe

Wear oven mitts and avoid hot steam when removing the lid and lifting the hot plate out of the steamer.

Bring water in a steamer to a rolling boil. Place the rack inside, and carefully lower the plate into the steamer using plate tongs. Cover with lid and steam over high heat for 18 minutes until fully cooked with abundant juices around the edge, then turn off heat and remove.
