The ingredients needed for the meat patties include lean meat, mushrooms, onions, etc. These ingredients can be chopped, mixed evenly and steamed to make steamed meat patties.

How long it takes to steam the meat patties depends entirely on the thickness of the patties and the heat. If you use medium or high heat and the patties are less than one centimeter thick, it will take about 10 minutes. If it is thicker, add 2 minutes.

2.2. Steamed Pork Patties with Salted Egg

Steps: Use two chopsticks to stir the meat paste in a clockwise direction, adding water little by little while stirring until the meat paste becomes sticky. Add cooking wine, egg white, light soy sauce, pepper, sugar, ground ginger and diced water chestnuts to the meat paste, mix well, pour into a container and flatten it. Dig a small hole on the surface of the meat paste (as many small holes as there are salted egg yolks) and put in the salted egg yolks. After the steamer boils, put the container in and steam it on high heat for about 15 minutes before serving.

3. How to steam meat patties

Grease the steamed meat patty container with oil to prevent it from sticking and make the meat patties more tender. Be gentle when packing the minced meat, and never press it hard with your hands. The thickness should be around 1cm, otherwise it will affect the tenderness of the meat patties. If you have time, you can cover it with a layer of plastic wrap, which will make it more tender, but you need to steam it for a little longer. Never lift the plastic wrap when it is not cooked yet (it is better to steam it a little longer). There will be some soup in the steamed dish when it is out of the pot. Do not pour it out. Wait for two minutes and the soup will be absorbed back into the meat patties, ensuring that they are tender and juicy.

Tips for steaming delicious meat patties

1. Fat and lean meat should be processed separately. Chop the lean meat and dice the fat. If you chop the fat and lean meat together and steam them, the fat will turn into grease, and there will be a thick layer of oil floating on the surface of the meat patty. Will you still like it?

2. Be sure to chop it by hand. Although meat grinders are a great tool to save time and effort, they cannot produce good flavor. Because once the meat grinder starts, the meat tissue will be squeezed and torn from all directions, the meat cell tissue will be destroyed, and the juice in the meat cells will flow out severely... After hearing such a description, will anyone be so scared that they will throw the meat grinder out of the window, hahahaha. Wouldn't chopping the meat with a knife damage the tissue? Of course there is some damage, but it is much smaller, and the force applied to the meat tissue is unbalanced, so the taste is greatly affected.

3. When serving, push it open gently with your hands. Remember to use a spoon to press the surface of the meat patty to make it smooth and flat if you don’t want to eat dry and hard meat patties.

Precautions for eating steamed meat pie with mushrooms

1. Don’t eat too much pork, especially fatty meat. Eating too much will increase heat, causing fat accumulation in the body, obesity, or increased blood lipids, leading to atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. Therefore, it should be used with caution or avoided by people with obesity, high blood lipids, coronary heart disease, and hypertension.

2. Pork should not be eaten with quail, pigeon meat, crucian carp, shrimp, black plum, platycodon, coptis, buckwheat, water chestnut, soybean, bracken, platycodon, black plum, lily, croton, rhubarb, coptis, atractylodes, coriander, beef, and donkey meat. Eating them together will cause physical discomfort.

3. It is not advisable to drink a lot of tea after eating pork, because the tannic acid in tea will synthesize astringent tannic acid protein with protein, which slows down intestinal peristalsis and prolongs the retention time of feces in the intestine. It can not only easily cause constipation, but also increase the absorption of toxic substances and carcinogens, affecting health.

4. Winter mushrooms are rich in biochemical substances. Eating them together with tomatoes containing carotenoids will destroy the carotenoids contained in the tomatoes and reduce their nutritional value.

5. Winter mushrooms contain vitamin D, and river crabs are also rich in vitamin D. Eating them together will make the vitamin D content in the human body too high, causing an increase in calcium. Long-term consumption can easily cause symptoms of stones.
