I thought I’d email to see if you are OK?

Hi Megwoo & Chuck!

Unfortunately, I lost my laptop after my visit to China in the Spring and with it went all my photos.

At last, I’ve received copies of thephotos taken by a colleague and would like to share a photo of that marvelous pork dish I told you about.

Unfortunately I don’t know how to get it on to this page.

Can anyone help,please?

I am actually looking for a recipe for belly pork with Ham Choi(salted mustard cabbage?) and/or golden yams. It’s a hot pot dish made with 3-layer (belly) pork, similar to that used in Siu Yok,and the fatty pork taste is offset by the preserved vegetable and the sweet golden yams-five spice powder is a key ingredient if memory serves. Have had this dish in Melbourne Australia, Richmond-Vancouver,and San Francisco Bay Area. ANyone who has a recipe, pls let me know.<br /> Thanks I actually found this recipe on the web elsewhere but I appreciate your detailed description and hints.

A question I don’t really have the answer to. Although speaking from experience, the steaming method really did leave the pork meltingly tender and soft. Looking back at the picture it does look like the pork had a crust on it, but it didn’t. There wasn’t anything crisp about the finished pork. So I guess that’s the difference between steaming and braising… I would assume that unless you submerge the pork, the braising method would dry out and crisp the top of the meat.<br /> <br /> Please write again and let me know how it all turns out!

Thank you for posting this description and the recipe. I have a question though. The recipe says to cover the pork twith the strained juice tightly in a bowl and steam. How does this differ from braising in the oven or using a bain marie in the oven? Does it do something different to the texture perhaps? The top of the finished pork in the photos appears to be fairly dry. Does this occur in the bowl in the steamer or does it happen naturally as it awaits plating? Thanks again. Great site! Hi,
