Steamed Egg With Minced Pork

This Steamed Egg with Minced Pork is a favorite in many households, and is also one of my all-time favorite dishes, with that smooth and velvety texture of steamed eggs and tofu covered with the savory flavors of stir-fried minced pork. It is soooo delicious and healthy, goes perfectly with rice or noodles, and is a great way of getting my kids to eat both eggs and meat together! My elderly parents are also big fans, thanks to its easy-to-chew consistency.

The dish starts with a mixture of minced pork, light soy sauce, dark soya sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine and salt. These ingredients are combined to create a flavorful filling for the dish. The minced pork provides a rich and meaty taste, some add seasonings to increase depth and enhance the overall flavor.

The eggs are then beaten until well combined, without creating excessive bubbles. The beaten eggs are poured over the silken tofu, enveloping it in a delicate layer of silky egg custard. When steamed, the eggs become tender and light, forming a smooth and creamy texture that contrasts beautifully with the savory minced pork.

The dish is steamed to perfection, allowing the flavors to meld together while the eggs cook. The steaming process gently cooks the eggs, ensuring they remain soft and custard-like. The minced pork sauce enhances the flavor giving the dish a delicious umami taste.

Steamed Egg with Minced Pork can be enjoyed as a main course or side dish. It pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or noodles, creating a satisfying and complete meal. The combination of the smooth steamed eggs and tofu with the flavorful minced pork makes this dish a comforting and satisfying choice for any occasion, and it also looks incredibly appealing visually! So let’s get to it!

Cuisine: Asian, Chinese

Keyword: dinner, easy recipe, lunch, quick, steamer, tofu

Servings: 2 adults

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 150 g minced pork
• 300 g silken tofu
• water

Sauce

• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
• 1 tsp sugar
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• water

Instructions

• In a mixing bowl, combine the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine oyster sauce and sugar. Mix well.
• Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and gently beat them until the yolks and whites are well combined. Add water into it. The perfect water to egg ratio is 2 to 1. You can use the egg shells to easily measure the water.
• Slice the silken tofu and pour in the egg mixture. Make sure the egg mixture covers the tofu so you get an even surface.
• Place the egg tofu over a steamer for about 10 minutes.

  Pro Tip: Make sure the water is boiling in the wok and that your stove is still on high heat when you place the eggs in. After you cover the wok, leave the stove on high heat for about 2 minutes until the water starts boiling again. Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer for 8 minutes.
• In a separate pan, cook the garlic on medium heat, add in minced pork and pour in the sauce mixture. Slowly add in a cornstarch slurry until the sauce thickens. Pour the minced pork and sauce mixture over the steamed egg tofu and serve!
• Optional step: Garnish with spring onion and chilli for a little extra punch, if desired.
