This steam minced pork with dried squid is one of my childhood favourites. My Dad makes this dish very often and I must say its super tasty. Adding the dried squid into the minced pork really adds a natural umami sweetness to the steam pork. I got this special minced pork with dried squid recipe from my Dad! You really have to try this! Its so easy to make. Also very healthy as it is steamed and no sugar added.
