Steamed Pork Belly with Meicai is a classic Chinese comfort dish celebrated for its balance of richness and depth. Premium pork belly is carefully prepared and steamed until meltingly tender, allowing the fat to become silky while the meat remains succulent.
The pork is layered with meicai (preserved mustard greens), whose earthy, slightly sweet and savory notes absorb the pork’s natural juices during steaming. The result is a harmonious dish with deep umami flavor, soft texture, and a comforting, home-style character. Best enjoyed with steamed rice, this dish is a timeless favorite for those who appreciate traditional Chinese cuisine.
