Homemade Luncheon Meat

中文版

I found a recipe of luncheon meat online which is quite simple and very suitable for the kind of lazy people like me. I tried to do it once; the taste is good but lack of aroma. Due to this I tried to search the ingredient used for canned luncheon meat and found that some spices are added during the process. Unfortunately it is too broad for the word “spices” and I’m afraid that I will destroy the taste of the luncheon meat if I selected the wrong spices. The only way I can solve this issue is to search another recipe online. After compare several recipe, I decided to choose those spices and seasoning which I can accept, finally Ester's luncheon meat is produced.

Ingredient:

600g mince meat

1 pc onion (medium size)

1 pc egg

2 teaspoon crushed garlic          

3 tablespoon plain flour

3 tablespoon corn flour

Some water

Seasoning：

1 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon soya sauce

1 table spoon sugar

2 tablespoon rice wine

Method：

1.   Mixed the plain flour and corn flour with onion and garlic, add in the egg, rice wine and some water to make batter. 

2.   Mix the minced meat with other seasoning.

3.   Mix the batter with the mince meat and stir it in one direction until it until it turns sticky.

4.   Wipe some cooking oil on the cooking tray, fold the minced meat mixture into the cooking tray, and fling the tray lightly to make all the ingredients settle. Steam over high heat for 40 minutes. Take out and allow cooling. Cut into serving pieces.

Note：

1.   The minced meat if more ground will be better as the luncheon meat will be softer. Usually the minced meat from the market is not ground enough, it needs to be blended with the blender or chopped additionally.

2.   You can request the butcher to add in the fat when you buy the mince meat, the luncheon meat will have more aroma and softer.

3.   The luncheon meat must be left completely cool before cutting, otherwise the cut out will not look nice and the gravy will flows out.

4.   To make the recipe even simpler, just remove the onion and garlic from the recipe, and use only salt, soya sauce and sugar as seasoning.
