Steamed Minced Pork with Water Chestnuts is also a great dish to pack lunch boxes. I sometimes make a few for hubby to bring to work. Simply put a cooked one on steamed rice, and drizzle some sauce on it. They are good in the fridge for 2-3 days if you keep them in air-tight containers.

Steamed Minced Pork with Water Chestnuts can be customized by adding other ingredients to suit your taste preferences. Some common additions include shitake mushrooms, squid, bamboo shoots, etc. I have also used preserved vegetables too.
