Method
- 1 Soak the dried pickled mustard greens in water for 1 hour, changing the water three times, then drain and chop finely.
- 2 Changing the water three times is mandatory; if the cabbage isn't soaked long enough, the whole dish will be too salty to eat.
- 3 Boil the pork belly for 25 minutes, then pat it dry and fry the skin side in oil until it puffs up.
- 4 Cut the meat into 1 cm thick slices and marinate with soy sauce, rice wine, and five-spice powder.
- 5 Arrange the slices of meat skin-side down in a bowl, then cover with the stir-fried pickled vegetables.
- 6 Steam for 2 hours, then invert the bowl onto a plate so that the meat slices are on top and the vegetables are underneath.
