This dish is one of many homestyle recipes in the Cantonese repertoire. I remember my mom hand chopping the pork with a chinese cleaver to make this dish or any steamed pork. The hand chopping creates a more al-dente texture and it is worth the effort. However, this dish is still as delicious if made with ground pork. The salted fish of choise is the soft type as the hard type does not marry or blend well.
Ingredients:
8 ozs of ground/minced or hand chopped pork
Ingredients:
8 ozs of ground/minced or hand chopped pork
2 tbsp of soya sauce
1 tsp of sugar
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tbsp of tapioca flour
a pinch of msg(optional)
1 tbsp of sesame
1 piece "mui heong' salted fishoil
2 tbsp of julienned ginger
Method:
Mix pork with all the seasonings, then place the salted fish on top and spread the julienned ginger on top of prepared dish.
Steam until cooked in a steamer or put on top of the rice before rice cooker's function turns to 'keep warm'.
Enjoy with white rice.

I'll have to ask my Asian grocer to get some salted fish oil for me, but I plan to give this a try. Have a wonderful day....Mary

ReplyDeleteYummy Lily, I like using salted Ikan Kurau fish.
ReplyDeleteDear Lily, this is one of my favourite dishes! Simple and yet very appetising! I always eat another extra bowl of rice whenever I serve this dish!
ReplyDeleteone of my all time favorite comfort food. When my mom makes it, she sneaks in a few slices of pork belly....after steaming for a while the fat melts in your mouth carrying with it the amazing flavors...yum!
