A classic Chinese dish, Fen Zheng Rou, made by simply rubbing pork belly with sauce and rice flour, then steaming. The rice flour locks in the meat's umami and seasoning, creating a superb sauce that pairs perfectly with rice. The spicy, tender pork and the tanginess of tomatoes make this dish perfect for summer.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Pork Belly 150g
  • Green Onion 1 tbsp
  • Ginger 1 tsp
  • Garlic 1 tsp
  • Rice Flour 1 tbsp+
  • Tomato 1/2
  • Cilantro (optional)
  • Green Onion (for garnish) (optional)

Seasonings

  • [A] Soy Sauce 4 tbsp
  • [A] Doubanjiang (Spicy Broad Bean Paste) 1 tsp
  • [A] Sweet Bean Sauce (Tianmianjiang) 1 tsp
  • [A] Chinese Soup Paste (Shantan) 1 tsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tsp
  • [A] Water 3 tbsp
  • Sesame Oil 2 tbsp
  • Chili Oil (optional)

Steps

  1. Cut the pork belly into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Finely chop the green onion, ginger, and garlic. Slice the tomato into rounds.
  3. In a bowl, combine soy sauce 4 tbsp, doubanjiang 1 tsp, sweet bean sauce 1 tsp, Chinese soup paste 1 tsp, sugar 1 tsp, and water 3 tbsp. Mix well to create the seasoning sauce.
  4. Add the cut pork belly to the seasoning sauce and mix thoroughly to let the flavors soak in.
  5. Add rice flour 1 tbsp+ to the marinated pork and mix well so the seasoning sauce coats the meat. (This is the key!) The rice flour traps the umami of the seasoning sauce within the meat.
  6. Add sesame oil 2 tbsp and, if desired, a little chili oil, and mix everything together.
  7. Spread the seasoned pork belly evenly on a flat plate.
  8. Arrange the sliced tomatoes around the edge of the plate.
  9. Set up a steamer or a steamer rack in a frying pan, place the prepared plate on it, cover, and steam for approximately 8 minutes.
  10. Sprinkle green onions and cilantro over the steamed pork.
