  • Add in the ground pork and saute until it changes color. Lower heat. 
  • Pour in the vinegar and soy sauce and throw in the star anise and bay leaf. Do not stir. Let boil at least 5 minutes then stir. 
  • Add the sugar and stir. Let simmer until sauce reduces and thickens. Do not let it dry out. 
  • Add a dash of pepper. 
  • Add more sugar if you prefer it sweeter. You may omit the star anise if you want a more subtle taste. 
  • When filling is cooked, immediately remove the star anise and bay leaf. Let cool.
 
​
  • In a bowl, combine flour, powdered milk, sugar, baking powder and water. Mix well until smooth. Set aside. 
  • In separate bowl, mix cream of tartar with egg whites. 
  • Beat on high and gradually add the sugar. Continue beating on high until you reach stiff peak stage. 
  • Pour egg white mixture into batter and fold until well mixed. Do not overmix. 
  • Pour batter in small greased muffin cups, about a third full. Add a tablespoon of filling in each cup. Cover the filling with another layer of batter until muffin cup is two-thirds full. 
  • Top with sliced salted red eggs and steam for 10 to 15 minutes. 
  • You may also use 9x4" loaf pans or 9" cake pan but double your steaming time (20 to 30 minutes).
