Cutting
Cut the ham into 1.5 cm diamond-shaped thick slices. Cut the tenderloin into 1.2 cm cubes. Remove the outer skin of the pork kidneys and score them 3-5 cm deep on both sides; set aside.
Blanching
Place the tenderloin and pork kidneys in a pot of boiling water to blanch off blood impurities, then remove and rinse in cold water.
Stewing
Place the tenderloin, pork kidneys, ham, ginger, and scallion in a soup tureen, add water, and steam over high heat in a steamer. After 50 minutes, skim off the foam, remove the kidneys and cut crosswise into about 1 cm thick slices, return them to the tureen, add fine salt and Shaoxing wine, and continue steaming over medium heat for another 50 minutes.
