INGREDIENTS
Main Ingredients
- ·200g Lean meat
- ·3 egg
Additional Ingredients
- ·10g minced garlic
- ·10g chopped green onion
- ·10g cornstarch
- ·10g starch
Seasonings
- ·2.5g (half spoon) Salt
- ·2.5g sugar
- ·10ml Light Soy Sauce
- ·10ml Old soy sauce
- ·5ml sesame oil
- ·2g pepper
- ·10g Oyster sauce
- ·15ml oil
DIRECTIONS
Step 1
Prepare the filling: cut the lean meat into minced meat, put it in a bowl, add half a spoonful of salt, half a spoonful of sugar, minced garlic, chopped green onion, 10ml light soy sauce, 10ml dark soy sauce, 5ml sesame oil, 2g pepper, a spoonful of oyster sauce, a spoonful of starch and 10g cornstarch, stir evenly in one direction until it is firm.
Step 2
Prepare the egg liquid: beat 3 eggs into a bowl, add 10g cornstarch and mix well to make the egg liquid smooth and sticky, so as to better spread the egg skin.
Step 3
Preparation for frying: Pour a small amount of oil into the pan and rotate the pan to evenly coat the inner wall with oil to prevent the egg liquid from sticking to the pan. At the same time, make sure to use a low heat so that you can accurately control the formation process of the egg skin.
Step 4
Making egg skin and adding fillings: Use a spoon to scoop a spoonful of egg liquid into the pot. Quickly turn the pot to spread the egg liquid evenly on the bottom of the pot to form a round egg skin. Wait for about 15 seconds. When the edge of the egg skin is slightly solidified and there is still fluidity in the middle, quickly put an appropriate amount of minced meat on the egg liquid.
Step 5
Forming the egg dumplings: Carefully wrap the minced meat with egg skin, press the edges to make it tightly wrapped, then take out the formed egg dumplings, and continue frying the remaining egg dumplings one by one according to this step.
Step 6
Steam until cooked through: Place the fried egg dumplings on a plate, place on a rack, cover with a lid and steam for 10-15 minutes. Steaming allows the filling inside the dumplings to be fully cooked and absorb the aroma of the egg skin. When done, remove from the pan and serve.
