Ingredients:

150g minced pork or pork, thinly sliced

3 eggs

400ml chicken stock

2 salted duck eggs

1/2 onion or some shallots

2 cloves of garlic

light soy sauce

sugar

Chinese wine

sesame oil

Spring onions

Directions:

Prepare necessary equipment for steaming.

Ideally a large wok with a steamer attachment.

Get the steam going over a high heat.

Marinate your pork with a bit of soy sauce, Chinese wine and sesame oil.

Finely dice up your onion and garlic and stir-fry it with the minced pork.

Add a pinch of sugar to taste. You should decide how much you want to add. The pork should be savoury with a subtle sweetness.

Spread the pork mixture into a heatproof bowl.

Wash your salted duck eggs, and crack them open.

You only want to keep the semi-hard yolks.

Nestle these in the pork mixture, either whole or broken up in bits. Try and make them quite chunky, or else you can't taste them when you eat.

Beat the eggs with a pair of chopsticks.

Combine it with the stock.

Add a pinch of salt to taste.

When the mixture is well blended, strain it into the bowl with the pork and duck egg yolks.

Steam the bowl over high heat for 5-10 minutes, then reduce to a low-medium flame/heat and steam for an additional 15-20 minutes.

The custard should be wobbly and set, but not hard.

Sprinkle some soy sauce and sesame oil over the finished custard as well as some chopped spring onions.

Eat it with rice.
