Ingredients
ground pork
400g
corn kernels
1/2 cup
carrot
1 small, finely diced
green onions
2 stalks, chopped
fresh ginger
1 inch, minced
cornstarch
1 tablespoon
light soy sauce
1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
1 tablespoon

Instructions
1
Prep the Produce
Finely dice the carrot into small cubes. Shuck the corn to remove the kernels. Peel and mince the ginger, and chop the green onions.
2
Season the Meat
Place the ground pork in a large mixing bowl. Add the cornstarch, soy sauce, vegetable oil, salt, white pepper, and minced ginger. Mix thoroughly by hand until the pork feels sticky and well-combined.
3
Incorporate Vegetables
Gently fold the corn kernels and diced carrots into the seasoned pork mixture. Stir until the vegetables are spread evenly throughout the meat.
4
Shape and Steam
Press the meat mixture onto a shallow, heat-proof plate, flattening it to about one inch thick. Place the plate in a steamer and cook over high heat for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the patty is firm and no longer pink in the center.
5
Garnish and Serve
Carefully remove the plate from the steamer. Sprinkle the fresh green onions over the hot patty. Let it rest for a minute to set before slicing and serving alongside steamed rice.
