Steps

1. Prepare the cauliflower rice by pulsing cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.
2. In a bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, coconut flour, egg, fish sauce, garlic, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to form a batter.
3. Grease small ramekins or muffin molds with cooking oil.
4. Pour the batter evenly into the greased ramekins, filling each about halfway.
5. In a separate pan, sauté the minced pork belly until cooked through. Add the chopped shrimp and green onions, cooking until the shrimp turn pink.
6. Top the batter in each ramekin with the pork and shrimp mixture.
7. Place the ramekins in a steamer basket and steam over boiling water for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cakes are set.
8. Once cooked, carefully remove the ramekins from the steamer and let them cool slightly before serving.
