Chinese Meatloaf with Water Chestnuts and Shiitake Mushrooms
Steamed meatloaf is quick and easy meal that can be prepared ahead of time. Throw it into a steamer when you get back and have a home cooked meal ready in 10 minutes.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 300 g ground pork shoulder
- 1 water chestnut diced
- 1 dried shiitake mushroom de-stemmed and rehydrated then finely diced
- 1 tsp corn starch
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- Rinse off dried shiitakes and rehydrate them a couple of hours in advance. Dice up water chestnuts and shiitake mushrooms.
- Mix all the ingredients together, including the shiitake soaking liquid, until the ground pork is a slightly sticky paste.
- Spread meatloaf out thinly in a wide, shallow dish. Refrigerate until ready to cook, or cook right away.
- Get rice going, and set a pot or pan of water to boil (do this before step 2 if you’re cooking right away).
- Place meatloaf on a steaming rack in the steamer. Add toppings if desired (for example, salted fish).
- Steam on high heat for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. Cook vegetables while waiting for meatloaf to steam.
- Serve with rice.
