This savory steamed pork dish is our family’s favorite. We eat it with a plate of warm steamed rice – always for lunch. This dish is quite salty, so the bland taste of the rice really compliments it.

The minced pork is paired with Tianjin preserved cabbage. It is finely chopped Tianjin (Chinese) cabbage preserved with salt and normally sold in form of ceramic container. The pickled vegetables is used to flavor the pork so it doesn’t dominate the flavor of the dish.
