👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Toast the rice: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the raw jasmine rice, stirring frequently, until golden brown and aromatic (about 8–10 minutes). Let cool, then grind into a coarse powder using a food processor or spice grinder.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the rice is completely cooled before grinding to prevent clumping.
2
Marinate the pork: In a bowl, combine pork cubes with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, brown sugar, five-spice powder, white pepper, crushed chilies, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly.
💡 전문가 팁: Marinating time can be extended for deeper flavor, but 30 minutes is sufficient.
3
Prepare the coating: Add the ground rice flour and chopped fermented black beans to the marinated pork. Mix well until each piece of pork is evenly coated.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the rice flour is coarse for a better texture. If it seems too dry, add a tablespoon of water or stock.
4
Set up the steamer: Fill a steamer pot with water. Line a heatproof dish or steamer basket with lotus leaves or parchment paper (optional). Arrange the sweet potato cubes in an even layer at the bottom.
💡 전문가 팁: The sweet potatoes create a moist base and prevent the pork from sticking.
5
Steam the pork: Pack the coated pork slices evenly over the sweet potato layer. Pour any remaining marinade and the water/stock into the bottom of the steamer pot. Cover tightly and steam over medium-low heat for 2 hours 30 minutes.
💡 전문가 팁: Check the water level periodically and replenish with hot water as needed to prevent the pot from boiling dry.
6
Rest and serve: Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions or coriander if desired.
💡 전문가 팁: Serve hot with steamed rice. The dish is best enjoyed immediately after steaming.
