Cooking tips
- Choose thin slices of pork belly meant for grilling or shabu-shabu, not thick cuts for boiled pork, as they cook quickly and are easier to wrap with vegetables.
- Adding a small amount of sugar (brown sugar) during marination helps tenderize the meat, making it even softer and more delicate.
- Do not add the small napa cabbage at the beginning—steaming it too long will make it lose its crisp texture. Instead, add it after the pork has been steamed for 5 minutes to preserve its freshness and bounce.
Recommended for
- Those who find grilling pork belly too greasy or smelly and prefer a lighter, cleaner way to enjoy it through steaming.
- People looking for a dish that’s simple and intuitive to prepare yet impressive in appearance when served on the table.
