Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the meat paste
Wash the chicken breast and pork fat together and mince them into a paste. Finely chop the shrimp. Combine in a bowl, add chicken broth to loosen, then add the scallion, ginger, salt, MSG (1 g), egg whites, cooking wine (half amount), and wet starch. Stir clockwise with chopsticks until the mixture becomes sticky and paste-like.
Stuff the preserved eggs
Peel the preserved eggs and cut each one in half. Coat each piece with the prepared chicken meat paste so they return to their original whole shape.
Arrange garnishes and steam
On top of the chicken paste, arrange the 5 julienned garnishes in 5 rows. Place everything on a plate, then steam in a steamer for about 10 minutes until cooked through. Remove and serve.
