🧂 Ingrediënten
- 200 g Ground pork
- 3 large Dried shiitake mushrooms
- 4 Eggs
- 300 ml Water or chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tsp Shaoxing wine
- 0.5 tsp White pepper
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Sugar
- 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tbsp Goji berries (optional, for garnish)
👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water for at least 30 minutes until softened. Squeeze out excess water, remove stems, and finely chop the mushroom caps.
💡 Pro Tips: Soaking mushrooms in warm water helps them rehydrate faster and releases more flavor. - 2
In a bowl, marinate the ground pork with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, white pepper, cornstarch, salt, and sugar. Mix well and let it sit for 15 minutes.
💡 Pro Tips: Marinating the pork tenderizes it and adds depth of flavor. - 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly. Gradually whisk in the water or chicken broth, the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
💡 Pro Tips: Ensure the liquid-to-egg ratio is correct for a smooth custard. Straining the mixture can result in an even silkier texture. - 4
Add the chopped mushrooms and marinated pork to the egg mixture. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
💡 Pro Tips: Avoid overmixing once the pork is added to prevent the egg from becoming tough. - 5
Pour the mixture into a heatproof dish or individual ramekins. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
💡 Pro Tips: Covering the dish prevents condensation from dripping onto the custard, ensuring a smooth surface. - 6
Steam the dish over medium-high heat for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg custard is set and cooked through. You can test for doneness by inserting a skewer; it should come out clean.
💡 Pro Tips: Adjust steaming time based on the depth of your dish. A gentle simmer is preferred over vigorous boiling. - 7
Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with sliced scallions and goji berries (if using).
💡 Pro Tips: Serving immediately allows the custard to be at its most tender.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓For an extra silky texture, strain the egg and liquid mixture before adding the pork and mushrooms.
- ✓If you prefer a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of water.
- ✓Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your preference for saltiness.
