Steamed pork patty with salted fish

Method

1. 1 Chop the pork with fat using a knife instead of grinding it; ground pork will become sticky when steamed.
2. 2 Marinate the meat with cornstarch, soy sauce, sugar, and water, then mix thoroughly in one direction for 5 minutes.
3. 3 Spread the meat in a flat layer 2 cm thick in a deep dish and press down to create a dent in the middle.
4. 4 Rinse the salted fish to remove excess salt, then cut it into small pieces and sprinkle them over the meat.
5. 5 Sprinkle plenty of shredded ginger on top; ginger helps neutralize the strong smell of salted fish.
6. 6 Steam over high heat for 18 minutes, then drizzle with hot sesame oil and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
