Braised Pork with Preserved Mustard

This savory and aromatic Steamed Pork Belly with Mustard Greens is a classic dish bursting with rich flavors and tender textures. Succulent pork belly is first boiled until tender, then seared to crispy perfection, creating a delightful contrast. The dish is layered with rehydrated dried mustard greens stir-fried with fragrant ginger and garlic, adding a tangy, earthy depth. Marinated in a blend of soy sauce, cooking wine, and scallions, the pork becomes incredibly flavorful before being steamed to melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. When inverted onto a plate, the crispy pork skin sits atop a bed of savory greens, creating a stunning presentation. Perfect for family meals or special occasions, this dish balances hearty meatiness with the bright, slightly bitter notes of mustard greens for an unforgettable dining experience. Garnish with fresh scallions for a final touch of freshness. A must-try for lovers of traditional, comforting flavors!
