Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 Sprinkling a little salt on the pumpkin surface helps bring out and enhance the natural sweetness of the pumpkin through contrast.
💡 Adding potato starch (or cornstarch) during marination seals in the moisture, keeping the pork belly soft, tender, and succulent after steaming.
💡 For the sauce, we recommend using black bean soy paste and black bean soy sauce; their unique savory depth and lingering sweetness add complexity to the garlic sauce.
💡 Adding a splash of the meat juices from the steaming plate not only helps adjust the sauce consistency but also adds a savory, meaty depth.
