Step 1

Start by cutting the salted mackerel into large chunks. Use a knife to remove the bones from the flesh.

Step 2

Chop the mackerel into small pieces roughly 1 cm x 1 cm (0.4" x 0.4") in size, then mince by hammering at it with a large knife/cleaver for 1 minute. Note: If you'd prefer to keep the salted mackerel and ground pork separate, you can simply slice the mackerel and lay them on top of the meat.

Step 3

Combine the pork mince, mackerel, purple shallots, garlic, sugar, chicken bouillon power, light soy sauce and oil in a steamable dish.

Step 4

Flatten the mixture in the dish until level.

Step 5

Top the ground meat with ginger.

Step 6

Set up your steamer and steam the patty on high heat for 1 hour.

Step 7

Serve hot with a bowl of rice!
