Ingredients:
– soybeans
– fatty pork
– 1 medium onion
– 1 egg
– salt, pepper
Rinse the soybeans and soak them in cold water for several hours (overnight is best). Drain the soaked soybeans and boil them until tender (about 2 to 2.5 hours), taking care not to let the pot boil over. After cooking, grind the soybeans twice using a meat grinder. Grind the fatty pork and the medium-sized onion the same way. Add the egg, salt, and pepper, and mix everything thoroughly. Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for a few hours so the meat can release its juices and the soy can absorb them. Shape and fry the patties.
I used a 1:1 ratio of ground cooked soybeans to pork. Keep in mind that soybeans double in volume when soaked and cooked, so if you start with 1 cup of dry soybeans, you’ll need an equal volume of pork for the filling. To keep the patties juicy rather than dry, use fatty pork.
