When one steams minced meat, since minced meats are not cooked and have air trapped inside, therefore, the outcome of the steamed eggs  is rather unpredictable.

At time, uneven surfaces are noted because trapped oxygen escaped thus causing the holes on top of the egg surface.

  • Chopped the minced meat with winter vegetable, Chinese celery, dashes of white pepper, sesame oil, corn starch, pinches of salt and sugar until your desired fineness.  Shelled the salted eggs and century egg.

  • Meanwhile, beat the eggs with the lukewarm cooked water. Sift and set aside. After about 5 minutes, sift the beaten eggs on top of the steamed meat and continue to steam under medium heat for about 5-10 minutes or until the egg is set. Cover the plate with a clingy wrap to prevent water condensation dropping into the meat.

Note.

  • Timing of steaming is very much depending on the thickness of your meat and how wide is your steaming plate. The wider and the thinner is your minced meat, the faster will be the steaming period.

  • As my egg is too full for the plate, In this illustration, I did not put a clingy wrap on top during steaming. In addition, I have steamed at high heat. It seems that this aggressive measure is possible for this recipe. However, it is advisable that you steam the minced meat with a cover and under medium heat.
