Step 1

First, cut 500g of pork belly into large pieces and cut 200g of broccoli into florets.

Step 2

Pour a little more than half a pot of hot water into the pan, put the pork belly into the pan for blanching. When the pork belly changes color, take it out and put it into cold water.

Pour a little more than half a pot of clean water into the pan, put 10g of chopped white part of green onion and 10g of ginger slices in it, pour 30ml of cooking wine and 30ml of dark soy sauce, add 5 bay leaves, 4 whole nutmegs, 1 tsao-ko (black cardamom), 1 star anise, 4 pieces of cinnamon stick, 50g of rock sugar and 10g of sweet bean sauce.

Step 4

Pour in the pork belly, cover the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and cook for 40 minutes. After cooking, take out the pork belly and reserve the brine.

Step 5

Cut the pork belly along the edge of the meat piece, do not cut at the turning point. Cut to the center of the meat. Roll up the cut meat strips and place them in the plate. Pour in the brine when cooking the pork belly, add 10g of ginger slices, and steam in the steamer for 30 minutes.

Step 6

Pour a little more than half a pot of clean water into the pan. When the water boils, add 5g of salt and 5ml of oil. Put the broccoli into the pan for blanching. Take it out after blanching.

Step 7
