Minced meat is an ingredient made by grating meat such as pork, beef or lamb into small particles. When cooking, we often use steaming under water to heat up minced meat, which keeps it tender and flavorful. Typically, the minced meat is spread flat on the bottom of a bowl or plate and then placed in a steamer for steaming under water. Depending on the thickness of the minced meat, the steaming time will vary. Generally speaking, it takes about 5-8 minutes to steam the minced meat under water, which ensures that the minced meat is fully cooked but not overcooked. The exact time will need to be adjusted according to the actual situation and personal taste.

Besides steaming, we can also boil, stir-fry, and pan-fry the minced meat when cooking. Different cooking methods will have different effects on the ingredients, for example, boiling the minced meat will make it more tender, while stir-frying and pan-frying will make its surface more crispy. When cooking minced meat, we need to choose the most suitable cooking method according to the actual situation and personal taste.
