Yumm! One of my family favs as well. My mom did the preserved veggies version so I don't recall ever having it with the salted egg, but I just put it on my menu for an upcoming 2012 Chinese New Year dinner event with the LA Foodies and Asian Foodies. If you are not already a member of one or both groups, you should check them out at www.LAFoodies.org and www.AsianFoodies.info

Woah, late to this party - but...

I love a little bit of finely chopped Chinese Sausage (Lop Cheung) as an alternative or in addition to the Ham Dan (Salted Egg).
When I lived in Singapore Salted Fish was a very popular option for Steamed Pork Cake (Ju Yuk Beng).

You can still order this in a few old Vancouver Chinatown restaurants.

Excellent Post!

Pam, great posting, the pics look great. I'll never forget the way my dad makes this once every 2 weeks. Such a peasant dish but one that has probably kept a lot of Chinese families alive and kicking haha. have a great halloween.

Beautiful post, Pammie! Even down in SD I had to eat my cha gio during snack time in secret. It makes me feel good knowing that your son will not have any qualms talking about the funky stuff that he's fed at home.

Not just 70's and 80's, even during the 90's those ching chong chong crap was used in my redneck of a town. Too bad I was outnumbered 3000:1, otherwise I'd Kung Fu their asses. LOL

Anyways, I love this stuff. Chinese
"meatloaf." It's great stuff! I would love to get some right now!

I use a program called Food And Exercise Diary (WeightlossSoftware.Com). It has a medical diary, food diary, and moods and feelings diary. So I can see relations between my foods, medication and moods. So the FED lets me figure out what is causing problems, and what works.

So this is similar to a dish that is getting hard to come by at Cantonese places....Hom Yu.....I love that stuff!
Chinese Garden in Montebello has it and there is a place in Gardena.....can't think of many others...oh Paul's Kitchen in DTLA.
Thanks for this recipe.

Crux of this story: R&C wanted to be White during the 6th grade. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (I just wanted to know how to roll up my pants correctly).

Btw, love this dish. And love how Stuffy Cheaks always did a steamed pork dish recipe on the same day. Bacon ain't got ISHT on steamed ground pork.

I loved this story.

When I was in third grade, I was waiting in the milk line. The big kid handing out milk was giving regular milk to white kids and chocolate milk to black kids. When he got to me, he said, "We don't have no yellow milk."

I told him, "You mean you don't have any yellow milk." Then I got my own orange juice.

I love this topped with a heaping mound of green onion or at times with some minced ginger. We often eat this with a mix of mustard and shoyu.

OMG that looks great and I JUST made a variation of this yesterday. I'm gonna post it on my blog shortly. My pics don't look half as artistic as yours..
