II. How To Make Steamed Egg Meatloaf Recipe
A. Processing
- Chop up the onion, shallots, and white part of green onions.
- Chop up the wood ear mushrooms
B. Method
- Take a clean plastic bag and put the ground pork, 10g each of chopped green onions and shallots, ½ teaspoon of rice wine, ½ teaspoon of ground pepper, 15g of sugar, and 50g of chopped onions in it. Use your hands to mix all of the ingredients well for ten minutes.
- After 10 minutes, pick out the mixture and put in a bowl. Add ⅔ teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon each of broth mix, MSG, fish sauce, and ground pepper to the bowl. Mix well and marinate for ten minutes.
- After 10 minutes, add five duck eggs, 80g of chopped wood ear mushrooms, and 120g of minced mung-bean noodles. If the mixture is thick, you can add one tablespoon of water to it. Mix everything well.
Note: The paste is not too thick because it will make your meatloaf dry.
- Pour mixture into a pan and spread evenly over the surface. Then, place the pan in a steamer. Note: Use cold water to steam so that the meatloaf will soften and cook evenly.
- Wrap the lid with a towel so that the water does not drip into the meatloaf. Steam for about twenty minutes on medium heat. Open the lid and poke the bloating areas. Cover and continue steaming for ten minutes.
- For topping, mix 5 duck egg yolks with 1 teaspoon of annatto oil and ⅔ teaspoon of rice wine and stir well.
- After 30 minutes, open the lid and let the meatloaf cool down for 5 minutes. Pour in the egg yolks, cover and steam for another minutes.
Note: Remember to loosely cover, not tightly cover so that the topping will be beautiful in color.
- When the topping is done, remove the meatloaf from the pan. Then, cut into slices and enjoy it alone or with cooked rice.
