Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
Cook the pork in plain water until done, take it out and wipe off the oil and water on the pork skin with a clean cloth, and smear with some soy sauce. Wash the dongcai and cut into small dices, cut the pickled chili into short sections, and slice the ginger and scallion.
Step 2
Heat a wok, pour in a little oil, put the pork in skin-side down when the oil is about to boil, deep-fry until it reaches a焦黄色, let it cool, and then cut the pork into thin slices 7 cm long.
Step 3
Arrange the meat slices in a fish-scale pattern skin-side down at the bottom of a bowl, sprinkle with cooking wine and soy sauce, add salt, then add about 5 fermented black beans, 2 to 3 sections of chili, and the dongcai. Steam in a steamer for 2 hours. Invert onto a plate when serving.
