About This Recipe

This crispy steamed pork recipe is a delicious twist on classic fried meat, combining a golden crunch with tender, aromatic flavors. Thin strips of pork are marinated in cooking wine, cornstarch, and pepper powder for extra juiciness, then coated in a spiced batter made with egg, flour, water starch, and five-spice powder. The meat is fried until perfectly crisp before being steamed with scallions, ginger, star anise, bay leaves, and cinnamon in a savory blend of light soy sauce and rich pork bone broth. The result? A mouthwatering dish with layers of texture—crispy on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth tender inside—infused with warm, fragrant spices. Perfect as a comforting main course, this recipe elevates simple ingredients into an unforgettable meal. The steaming process locks in moisture while blending the bold flavors of the spices and broth, making every bite irresistible. Try this unique method for a dish that’s crispy, savory, and deeply satisfying!
