Introduction
This steamed pork with tomatoes is quick and easy to make. The pork slices are tender and juicy, having absorbed the sweet and tangy essence of the tomatoes. Served over a bed of refreshing napa cabbage, this dish is light, nutritious, and a perfect appetizing home-style steamed meal.
Step 1
Wash the tomatoes and remove the stems. Gently score a cross on the skin (do not cut too deep to prevent juice leakage).
Step 2
Bring a pot of water to a boil, blanch the tomatoes for about 1 minute, then remove and cool in cold water to peel the skin.
Step 3
Remove the hard cores from the peeled tomatoes, cut into uniform small pieces, and place in a bowl.
Step 4
Wash the napa cabbage, remove the root, and cut into pieces to layer the bottom of a plate. Arrange the tomato pieces over the cabbage and sprinkle with a little salt to season the base.
Step 5
Cut a few scallions into sections and crush the ginger. Place in a bowl with a little water, knead for about 1 minute to release the juices, and set the scallion-ginger water aside.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 When choosing tomatoes, aim for ripe and juicy ones; the juices released during steaming will be richer and more flavorful.
⚠️ Do not score the tomato skin too deeply to avoid losing excess juices during the blanching process.
💡 Adding scallion-ginger water while kneading the meat helps remove gaminess and ensures the meat absorbs enough moisture to stay tender.
⚠️ When arranging the pork slices on the tomatoes, ensure they are spread out flat rather than stacked, to guarantee even heating and uniform doneness.
