Preparation
Step 1
Once the pork is minced, mix well with the corn starch, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and pepper. Let stand for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare your steaming vessel of choice (a wok) with boiling water and a steaming rack. Crack the salted eggs and separate the white from the yolks. With your fingers, gently pinch and break the yolks into smaller pieces.
Step 2
Lay out the marinated minced pork onto a wide, shallow dish, ensuring even thickness around the plate for even cooking. Pour over the salted egg whites evenly across the dish. Personally I like to leave some parts of the dish pool with more whites for a rustic effect. Divide the broken egg yolks in between the meat, pressing some deep and letting others float on the surface.
Step 3
Steam over medium high heat for 20 to 25 minutes or till pork is cooked. Garnish with a few more drops of sesame oil, spring onions or coriander. Serve over warm steamed rice and extra soy sauce if necessary.
