  • 3 eggs

  • 1/2 tbsp sugar (or to taste)
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

  • Set up the steamer and bring to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, coat the steaming dish with cooking oil. Tip: use a shallow dish to steam for the mince to cook through faster.
  • Mix the pork mince, woodear mushrooms, green bean thread, onion, eggs, fish sauce, chicken bouillon powder, salt and sugar together in the steaming dish.
  • Steam on a high heat for 20 minutes with the lid on. 
  • Turn off the heat, remove the lid and brush on the egg yolks until the surface is covered. Let it rest for 2 minutes.
