Yen Can Cook ~ Steamed Pork Patty with Salted Egg
Steamed pork patty is a classic Cantonese comfort food and there are lots of variations, like Steamed Minced Pork with Pickled Mustard, Steamed Minced Pork with Dong Cai, Steamed Minced Pork with Corn and Steamed Minced Pork with Mushroom . If I cook any of these steamed minced pork dishes, my low carb resolve goes out the window and eat plenty of rice as they are bursting with flavor and go really well with just white rice.
Today’s recipe is another simple steamed pork patty recipe which is very appetizing and tasty when served with rice or porridge – Steamed Pork Patty with Salted Egg.

500g minced pork (used half lean half fat meat)
1 salted egg, separate the egg white and yolk

1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon pepper

HAPPY COOKING! #stayhealthy #staysafe
This is one of my favourite dishes to make at home. The difference with mine is I cut the salted egg yolk into pieces (to distribute amongst the minced pork, yours…no sharing, only one will get? Lol) and I also discard the egg white (to reduce salt intake, I do that when I eat salted egg yolks too). My low carb resolve only goes out the door when I have curry…steamed dishes like this, no problemo…hehehe! ^_~
Kris, I’ll take your advice to break the yolk into small pieces, hehe. 😛
Curry must eat with rice, I can’t deny…. >_<
I like simple yet delicious dishes like this one. I can understand what you mean by low carb resolve going out the window with such dishes LOL! I can eat this steamed dish by itself. Of course with rice is so much more syiok!
PH, I had the dish without rice too but a bit salty lah, eat with rice sure better.
This brings back childhood memories, love it.
KY, my mom’s version is plain steamed pork patty. 🙂
During my young days they don’t serve with Salted egg yolks. It seems to be like a modern trend cooking and it tastes better!
TM, same here…. my mom’s version is plain steamed pork patty. 😛
