This dish is sooooooooooo easy to make, it requires no effort but it's totally homey! Well, my mum (and most people) would actually make this with a salted duck egg as well, which is the real deal and the star of the dish, but I didn't have any at home and didn't want to make a special trip to Chinatown so... here's the easy version! It's still tasty!
It's also great if you're cooking in a Western country - there's nothing in this recipe you can't get in your local supermarket!

For a regular-sized dish (as one of two dishes for two people, or as one of a few dishes for more than two people), you need two large free range eggs and about 400g minced pork. |
 |
Add white pepper powder and salt to the mince to get rid of the smell (usually meat sold in the UK has this weird smell...). Give the eggs a good stir and add some salt. |
 |
Mix the eggs and the mince, and add about 3 tablespoons of cold water... |
 |
...until it looks like this. |
 |
Put some boiling water into a wok (with a lid, this is a must), and put a steam rack in it. I put the steam rack upside down only because mine's too big and after putting the dish in I couldn't put the lid on properly. |
 |
Place the dish carefully inside. |
 |
Put the lid on (there must be no gap), and cook for about 20 minutes over medium heat. |
 |
Done - it doesn't look as good without the salted egg! Make an effort and get a salted egg if you want it to look nice! |
ENJOY!
I miss this dish!
