The steamed patty is an enormously popular Hong Kong standard that is a particular favorite with kids. Traditionally made with chopped and ground pork, you can now make an earth-friendly version of this classic dish using Impossible™ Burger. It’s a flexible dish with many variations on the ingredients. If you ever sat and watched your grandmother make this, you may remember one piece of folklore about preparing the patty: Only stir the ingredients in one direction—clockwise, and only clockwise. Why? No one seems to really know. One explanation could be that stirring in one direction prevents overmixing the ingredients. Now comes the part with the double boiler. But wait, I don’t have a double boiler! Not a problem. The steamed patty is cooked in the dish it is served in. You’ll just be setting this dish on top of a pot with water. To form the patty, you will press the Impossible Burger and spice mixture into the dish so it is no more than three-quarters of an inch thick. Much thicker than that and the patty gets too dense. This thickness keeps the mixture light and fluffy. Press gently when forming the patty in the dish. It’s now ready to steam. Just set this dish on top of your pot (voila! You just made yourself a double boiler), steam away and in about 20 minutes you will have your Steamed Impossible Patty. Cook the rice while the patty steams and you’ll have an easy, satisfying meal.
