Main Ingredients
  • 100g seasoned ground pork
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin)
  • Pinch of salt

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

First, take the seasoned ground pork and shape it into small, round meatballs, about the size of pearls. (Refer to recipe @7034499 for pork seasoning instructions.)

Step 2

Carefully place the prepared pork meatballs into a heated pan.

Step 3

Gently roll the meatballs around in the pan, cooking them until they are about 90% done. They don’t need to be fully cooked through at this stage.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, crack the 2 eggs. Add 1 Tbsp of cooking wine and a pinch of salt, then whisk well to season the egg mixture. This will help remove any eggy smell and enhance the flavor.

Step 5

In a lightly oiled round pan over low heat, pour about 1 Tbsp of the seasoned egg mixture and spread it thinly to create an egg crepe. It’s important to make it thin, not thick.

Step 6

When the egg crepe is about 50% cooked and the surface has just set, place one of the partially cooked pork meatballs in the center of the crepe.

Step 7

Carefully fold the egg crepe in half over the meatball, creating a half-moon shape. This process should resemble how dumpling wrappers enclose the filling.

Step 8

Once the pork and egg dumplings have cooled slightly, arrange them nicely on a plate to serve. They are delicious when warm, and also make a delightful snack when cooled.
