Savory Ground Pork Cake with Salted Duck Egg

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Ground Pork Cake with Salted Duck Egg.

1. Step 1

   Start by separating the white from the yolk of the salted duck egg. You can mash the white in a small bowl or blend it in a food processor until smooth. Take the yolk and divide it into four pieces, setting them aside for later.

2. Step 2

   In a medium heat-proof bowl, combine the ground pork, mashed salted egg white, regular egg, soy sauce, sugar, salt, black pepper, and milk. Use your hands to mix everything together until well combined. The addition of milk will give the mixture a smoother texture. Let this mixture sit for about 15 minutes to marinate. This is a great time to prepare any side dishes or start cooking rice to accompany your meal.

3. Step 3

   Once the pork mixture has marinated, take the pieces of salted egg yolk and gently push them into the center of the pork mixture. Smooth the top of the pork mixture until it is flat and even. Arrange the broccoli florets around the outer edge of the meat for a pop of color and nutrition.

4. Step 4

   Now, place the bowl in a steamer or a large pot with a couple of inches of water. Set the heat to medium-low and steam the pork cake until it is cooked through and browned, which should take about 30 minutes. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait!

5. Step 5

   When it's done, serve the pork cake with rice. The salted egg yolk is the star of the dish, so be sure to ration it carefully. It's quite salty, so enjoy it in small bites with the pork and rice for a balanced flavor experience.
