Hawaiian Pork Hash
Inspired by Hawaii's culinary fusion of Asian and Pacific flavors, Hawaiian Pork Hash, akin to a dim sum staple, is beloved on the islands. This delightful treat features a juicy pork filling wrapped in wonton skins, steamed to perfection. Enjoy these savory morsels for a snack or at your next gathering.
Ingredients
250 grams ground pork - Preferably organic or high-quality- 1 cup water chestnuts - finely chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce - low-sodium preferred
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 medium egg - lightly beaten
24 pieces wonton wrappers
¼ cup green onions - finely sliced
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, water chestnuts, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and beaten egg. Mix until well incorporated.
- Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
- Gather the edges of the wrapper, pleating as you go, to encase the filling securely yet leave the top open. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Line a bamboo steamer with parchment paper or cabbage leaves. Arrange the pork hash pieces, ensuring they don't touch each other. Steam over boiling water for about 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through.
- Once cooked, garnish with green onions and serve immediately with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For a twist, try adding a pinch of freshly grated ginger for a zesty undertone. If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute pork with a mix of shiitake mushrooms and firm tofu. Using a food processor for the filling is a convenient alternative, although the texture will be smoother.
