Pork mince
免治豬肉
Pork patties, egg dumplings and wonton filling want fatty mince, about thirty percent fat, or they steam dry. Australian supermarket pork mince is lean by default; an Asian butcher understands 半肥瘦 (roughly 70:30), or buy scotch fillet and a strip of belly and chop them yourself.
Cautions: read first
- Cook pork and chicken right through: no pink at the centre and the juices run clear.
Preparation
Work in water and starch in one direction until it turns sticky.
