1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 green onion, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon, ½ tablespoon soy sauce, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon corn starch, ½ tablespoon olive oil or neutral oil, 2 tablespoon water, ½ cup Chinese pickled vegetables, 1 pound ground pork
Mix the ingredients together in one direction (see video to see how to mix). Mix until the meat filling is well incorporated. Mixing the meat filling in one direction helps with myosin development. Myosin is a protein that helps bind the meat together. This results in a stickier and tender filling. I recommend to mix in one direction for around 100 rotations.
Add steamed patty in a shallow bowl. Make sure to press the patty down and press on the sides to prevent shrinking during cooking. Depending on how large your bowl is, you may need to split the portions in 2 different bowls. If you use a larger bowl for all the meat, adjust cooking time in the next step.
Boil a large pot of water on medium high heat. When water is boiling, add steamed patty on the wire rack. Cook for 15-17 minutes. Optional: gently make a hole in the center with a spoon. Crack egg inside the hole. Cook for 2-3 minutes for over easy egg. Cook for 5 or more minutes for hard boiled egg.
