Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Slice the belly pork as thinly as possible so the crisp vegetables and tangy Ma La sauce can blend well between the layers without overpowering the meat.
  • If tonkatsu sauce is unavailable, substitute with 1 tablespoon Ma La sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 tablespoon vinegar, and 1 tablespoon water.
  • The onion placed at the bottom of the steamer helps eliminate pork’s odor and absorbs excess fat, so discard it confidently after steaming.

Recommended for

  • People who want to enjoy pork without the hassle of long stovetop boiling.
  • Those looking for a unique, spicy-sweet meat dish instead of traditional soybean paste or shrimp paste pairings.
  • Individuals needing a quick yet impressive main course for guests or home parties with great visual appeal and flavor.
