Cooking your Asian lasagne:

Steaming:

2. Steam on medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until pork is fully cooked and firm.
3. When cooked, remove from steamer and top with optional garnishes and serve hot.

Chef’s Tips:

For a softer texture, add 1-2 teaspoons of water/stock after the pork mixture during the layering process.
For a richer flavour, drizzle a little extra oyster sauce on top layer of pork.
For a spicy hit, add some Mrs Tran’s Kitchen Sate Chilli Oil on top before serving.
Vegetarian option: replace pork for finely diced mushrooms, eggplants, zucchini, tomato or carrots (soft & tender vegetables are recommended).
