Meat Patties

After you make the meat patties, either steam them or pan-fry them, depending on your taste & preference.

Ingredients:

• minced meat (I used pork, you can choose your preferred meat), about 300 g

Seasoning:

• half teaspoon salt
• half teaspoon sugar
• quarter teaspoon pepper
• one tablespoon soya sauce
• half teaspoon sesame oil
• one tablespoon corn flour

Method:

• combine minced meat & seasoning, mix well, let stand for 10 minutes
• take a heaped tablespoon of meat and roll into a ball between your palms, then press lightly to flatten, continue for all, making about 12 small patties
• if you prefer it pan-fried, heat one-and-a-half tablespoon of oil in a wok or frying pan, fry on both sides, approximately 5 minutes each side
• if you prefer the steamed version, put the patties in a plate & place them in a steamer when the water is boiling, cook for about 10 minutes

Other than using different cooking methods (maybe you can try deep frying?), you could also experiment with varying the seasoning or adding other ingredients (eg carrot) to get the flavour & texture you like.
