Detailed Steps for Cooking Steamed Minced Meat with Okra
After washing the okra, cut it in half along its shape and set aside.
Add an appropriate amount of soy sauce, a small amount of sesame oil, a few drops of Sichuan peppercorn oil, a small amount of salt, and watered bean powder (dissolve the bean powder in warm water beforehand) to the minced meat, and stir the minced meat clockwise. PS: Do not add too much bean powder, as it will make the texture heavy and affect the taste of the minced meat; the minced meat should not be too dry, and it should be easy to stir without seeing excess water. In this case, the amount of water added is appropriate.
After seasoning the minced meat, spread it on the okra, and pay attention to the presentation to ensure it looks beautiful when served. PS: Do not spread the minced meat too thick, as it will be easier for the okra and minced meat to separate after steaming.
When spreading the minced meat, pay attention to smoothing the edges to maintain a neat appearance.
After finishing spreading the minced meat and arranging the presentation, prepare to steam. Once the water is boiling, place the arranged okra in the pot and steam for about 8 minutes before removing from heat.
While steaming the okra, finely chop the small chili peppers and place them in a bowl to prepare the seasoning.
Add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, a few drops of sesame oil and Sichuan peppercorn oil, a small amount of salt, and finally, add sugar to enhance the flavor.
