Steamed Egg and Mapo Meat

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • Lukewarm water — 1.5× the weight of the eggs
  • ½ lb ground pork
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp doubanjiang
  • 1 tsp Sichuan pepper powder
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
  • 1 tbsp chopped scallions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth. Weigh the eggs, then add lukewarm water equal to 1.5× the weight of the eggs. Add 1 tbsp fish sauce and whisk until well combined.
  2. Strain the egg mixture: Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any bubbles and create a smooth, silky texture.
  3. Steam the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into a heatproof dish and steam over medium heat for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it rest, covered, for another 5 minutes.
  4. Make the pork topping: While the eggs are steaming, heat a little oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the ground pork and cook until browned. Add the soy sauce, doubanjiang, Sichuan pepper powder, and Shaoxing wine. Stir-fry until the pork is fully cooked and the sauce is fragrant and well combined.
  5. Finish and serve: Spoon the spicy pork over the steamed egg and finish with chopped scallions. Serve warm with a bowl of rice and enjoy!
