Yipin braised pork

Overview

Everyone is familiar with braised pork. The customary braised pork includes dried bean sprouts, dried vegetables, and dried bamboo shoots. I heard that some places also put sour tofu. They are all local characteristics and everyone is used to them. Today I used dried day lily and dried abalone to steam a dish like this. If your friends like it, you can try it. It’s really cool to entertain guests.

  13. Pour the sauce on top and steam for about 40 minutes. If there are more ingredients, the steaming time will be longer. If it’s less, reduce the time but it shouldn’t be too short. Generally, 30-40 minutes is required.
