Ingredients
Instructions
Marinate the pork
Toss the rib pieces with Shaoxing wine, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Let them rest for 30 minutes so the meat absorbs the savory flavors.
Coat the ingredients
Divide the rice flour among five bowls. Add the chrysanthemum greens to one bowl, radish to another, long beans to a third, pumpkin to the fourth. Pour a splash of broth into each bowl and toss until the vegetables are lightly dusted with the flour. Toss the marinated ribs with the remaining rice flour and a few tablespoons of broth.
Arrange and steam
Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on a large steaming platter, keeping each type separate. Nestle the ribs in the center or on top. Drizzle a little more broth over everything—the coating should feel like damp sand, not wet. Steam over boiling water for 20 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
