Yuk beng doesn’t sound that delicious when translated as “meat cake” but it’s comfort food for many Chinese people. It’s a basic, versatile dish: minced pork (the default meat for Han Chinese, but you can use beef) mixed with the usual seasonings (soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, salt and white pepper) then steamed. You can add toppings (the most common are salted fish and salted egg yolk) and other “mix-ins” (such as preserved vegetables).
