Introduction
This is a classic Cantonese home-style steamed dish featuring crisp, sweet yam paired with tender, juicy pork slices marinated in fermented black beans. It is quick, nutritious, and offers a multi-layered texture, perfect for the whole family.
Step 1
Peel the half piece of fresh yam under running water and clean thoroughly.
Step 2
Slice the cleaned yam diagonally into thin pieces, slightly thicker than a coin.
Step 3
Place the sliced yam in a bowl of clean water, add a little white vinegar, and stir to soak, preventing oxidation and discoloration.
Step 4
Prepare ingredients: Remove the ends of the 3 garlic cloves and mince; mince a little ginger. Place the minced garlic, ginger, and fermented black beans in a bowl. Finely chop the scallions and set aside separately.
Step 5
Process the pork: Wash the lean pork and slice it into thin pieces against the grain.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
⚠️ Wear gloves when peeling yam, as the saponins in the yam's slime can cause severe skin irritation.
💡 After slicing the yam, soak it in white vinegar water immediately to prevent browning and maintain a crisp texture.
⚠️ When cutting pork, be sure to slice 'against the grain' (cutting across muscle fibers) to ensure the steamed meat is tender and not tough.
🍳 When plating, spread the meat slices out flat; do not stack them, as overlapping meat will result in uneven cooking and some pieces remaining raw.
