Steamed Three Eggs with Pork
Steamed Three Eggs with Pork Recipe
To test if the egg is cooked, shake the dish slightly – the egg should feel solid. If you poke a bamboo skewer in the middle of the egg, the egg should be solid not liquid.
Ingredients:
- 80 grams minced pork (chicken)
- 2 hen’s eggs
- 1 raw salted egg yolk diced
- 1 century egg diced
- 100 ml chicken stock
(A) Marinade for pork
- 1/2 tsp light soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp Chinese wine
- 3 dashes of white pepper powder
- 1/2 tbsp corn starch
Directions:
- Marinade pork with (A) for at least 10 minutes.
- Beat eggs in a bowl. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve for 1-3 times. Add chicken stock and mix well.
Spread the marinated pork in a thin layer in a steaming plate. Steam for high heat for about 3 minutes. Carefully tilt the plate and pour away the water collected in the steaming dish. - Scatter chopped salted egg yolk and century eggs over the dish and pour egg mixture over the steamed pork. Steam for 8-10 mins until the egg is just set.

I remember I used to have this for the lunch very often…miss those century eggs.
Hi. I saw the posting on steamed three eggs with pork. May I asked you three questions?
1) Usually I will put all the ingredients on the plate and steam it. Is it necessary to steam the minced pork first?
2) Do we need to put a bit of water into the mixture before steaming it?
3) Sometimes there are holes on the suface when the dish is cooked. How do I prevent this from happening?
Thanks.
1) Do you find the pork collect a lot of water during steaming? I also find that the pork takes longer to cook than the egg. But if your method works for you, you should stick with it. Everyone has a different way of making this dish.
2) Instead of plain water, I used chicken stock (recipe at page 2).
3) Timing is really important. For holes, I think the steaming time is slightly too long. You can check out the tips at https://noobcook.com/steamed-egg-with-minced-pork/
Thanks for your notes. Yes i do find there’s some water on the surface when the dish is cooked. I’ll try your method instead.
I like this homey dish too but it is hard to find 3 different kinds of eggs in my house at one same time, unless I intentionally buy those eggs which means I “die die” must make the dish if I just think of making this dish.
Oh! I have not had steamed eggs for ages…and yours look awesome…I love the 3 kind of eggs in this dish…
Thanks for the recipe Wiffy…hope you are having a great week :)
