Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mixture:

   • In a blender or food processor, combine the ground pork, chicken, crab meat, coconut milk, chopped spring onions, fresh coriander, sliced lemongrass, minced garlic cloves, fish sauce, palm sugar, and black peppercorns.
   • Blend or process until the mixture is well combined and forms a smooth paste-like consistency.
   • Transfer the mixture into a large mixing bowl.

2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

   • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
   • Add 1 of the egg yolks and continue to beat until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.

3. Combine Pork and Egg Mixtures:

   • Gently fold the beaten egg whites and yolk into the pork mixture until fully incorporated.
   • Ensure the mixture is well combined but still light and airy.

4. Form Cups:

   • Grease 6 (1/2 cup capacity) individual bowls or ramekins lightly.
   • Spoon the pork and egg mixture into each bowl, pressing down firmly to pack it in.
   • Smooth the tops of the mixture in each bowl for a neat finish.

5. Steam the Cups:

   • Brush the tops of each cup with the remaining egg yolk for a glossy finish.
   • Prepare a bamboo steamer over a pot of boiling water.
   • Place the bowls in the steamer, ensuring they are not touching.
   • Cover and steam for about 20 minutes or until the cups are cooked through and firm to touch.

6. Cool and Serve:

   • Once cooked, remove the bowls from the steamer and allow them to cool slightly.
   • Carefully turn out each cup onto a cutting board and cut into wedges.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Arrange the steamed cups on a platter over a bed of sliced cucumbers and bean sprouts.
   • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a sprinkle of black pepper.
   • Serve with chili jam or sauce on the side for an extra kick of flavor.
   • These Steamed Mince Pork, Chicken, and Crab Cups are best enjoyed hot, straight from the steamer! 🌶️🥢

• Variations: Feel free to add your favorite seafood or vegetables to the pork mixture for a personalized touch.
