Steamed Chicken Cups
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
- 6 fresh cilantro sprigs, leaves and stems separated
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1 tablespoon palm sugar (page 9) or brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk, homemade (page 584) or canned, plus a drizzle for garnish
- 2 tablespoons nam pla
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Put at least 2 inches of water in the bottom of a steamer.
- Put the garlic, cilantro stems, and pepper into a food processor and process until the garlic is pasty and the cilantro finely minced.
- By hand, mix with the chicken, pork, sugar, coconut milk, nam pla, and 1 egg.
- Spoon and press down the mixture into 1/2-cup ceramic ramekins or small heatproof paper cups, like the aluminum-lined ones you might use for cupcakes.
- Brush the remaining egg on top and place the ramekins in the steamer.
- Cover and cook until the mixture is firm, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
- Invert the ramekins onto plates and tap gently to release the steamed chicken.
- Drizzle with a little coconut milk, garnish with the reserved cilantro leaves, and serve.
