Meat Patties and Preserved Cucumbers


Preserved cucumbers are usually served with congee but they also work as well with meat patties. It is really easy to make these meat patties with little ingredients used and only about 8 minutes of frying.  You can serve these meat patties as snack or a side dish meal with hot rice or place it inside a toasted bun with a slice of cheese, tomatoes and mayonnaise as a burger.  



Meat Patties and Preserved Cucumbers



    Ingredients: makes 14
    1 canned Preserved cucumbers 味金花瓜 
    300g Ground pork with some fat
    1 tsp Garlic, chopped
    1 tbsp Corn flour
    1 tbsp Spring Onion
    1 Egg

    Seasoning:
    1/2 tsp Sesame oil
    1/2 tsp Chicken powder
    a dash of pepper




     Method:
  • Rinse the preserved cucumbers a few times and squeeze out excess water then cut to small pieces.
  • Put all ingredients and seasoning into a mixing bowl. Stir until well combined and very sticky. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Heat up frying pan and add little oil into it. Form the meat mixture into small balls, place them into frying pan and gently flatten it with your finger tips.
  • Pan fry the meat patties at medium heat until both sides are golden brown and cooked through, dish and drain well on absorbent paper towels.   



Enjoy!
