200g chicken broth*
2 eggs
150g pork mince (add an egg if its from a leaner cut)
20g spring onions, both the green and white stem chopped
20g shallots, finely chopped
15g salted vegetables (like pickled mustard)

Method
- Marinate the pork mince with Chinese cooking wine and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly with the spring onions, shallots, salted vegetable, garlic and white pepper.
- Whisk the chicken broth and eggs together. Strain the egg mixture through a sieve to remove air bubbles and into a ceramic bowl or any vessel that can be used for steaming food.
- Wrap the bowl in cling film and steam for approximately 15 mins.
- When the egg mixture has set, gently add the minced pork mixture on top of the custard-like egg mixture.
- Cover the bowl and steam for an additional 5 minutes, or until the pork mince mixture is thoroughly cooked.
- Remove from heat and garnish with the chopped coriander leaves and stems before serving!
