This Man's Cook's Double-Flower Decoction Pork Steamed Meat

A tender, sweet, and juicy steamed pork dish with no off-flavors, using a bottle of commercial double-flower decoction, onion, and apple juice instead of bay leaves or soybean paste.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Double-flower decoction contains concentrated ingredients like elm bark, ginger, and licorice—so you can skip soybean paste or soju entirely while still eliminating all off-flavors perfectly.
  • Slicing the cooked pork immediately after cooking makes it fragile and prone to breaking. Always let it rest with the lid on for 10 minutes to cool slightly, ensuring a neat, clean cross-section.
  • Since this method steams the meat using only the natural moisture from the vegetables and double-flower decoction, always use a pot with a thick bottom to prevent scorching.

Recommended for

  • People who find it bothersome to buy multiple ingredients like bay leaves, ginger, or soybean paste every time they make steamed pork.
  • Those who want to achieve a consistently soft, tender, and luxurious herbal taste in their steamed pork without fail.
  • Individuals who prefer a low-moisture steaming method over soaking in water, resulting in juicy, flavorful steamed pork.
