Introduction
This steamed pork with pumpkin recipe is simple yet delicious. The pumpkin is steamed until tender and sweet, paired with marinated, succulent pork collar slices and the aromatic flavors of fermented black beans and garlic. Finished with a drizzle of hot oil to release the scallion fragrance, it is rich in flavor and goes perfectly with steamed rice.
Step 1
Use a spoon to remove the pulp and seeds from the pumpkin. Peel the skin, wash thoroughly, and cut into evenly sized thick slices. Arrange them flat on the bottom of a plate.
Step 2
Root and crush the garlic, then mince. Slice the Thai chilies into rings. Wash and chop the scallions. Place the minced garlic, chili rings, and black beans into a small bowl.
Step 3
Wash the pork collar, slice into uniform thin pieces, and place in a bowl.
Step 4
Add oyster sauce, salt, chicken powder, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice wine, cornstarch, and the prepared garlic, chili, and black beans to the pork. Massage for 1-2 minutes until well incorporated. Finally, drizzle with peanut oil to seal the meat and let marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Spread the marinated pork slices evenly over the pumpkin slices, trying not to overlap them too much.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Do not slice the pumpkin too thin; keep some thickness so it doesn't become too mushy after steaming. Cut into even slices to ensure they cook at the same rate. 💡
It is recommended to use pork collar (pork neck), which has a good balance of fat and lean meat, making it more tender and flavorful. 🍖
Adding cornstarch when marinating makes the meat silkier, and drizzling with cooking oil at the end seals in the moisture. ✨
Make sure the water is boiling before placing the dish into the steamer. Steam over high heat for exactly 8 minutes; over-steaming will make the meat tough. ⚠️
