Seasoning Ingredients- 1 Tbsp tuna extract
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce

- 2 Tbsp cooking wine (like mirin)
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
- A pinch of black pepper

- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 2 Tbsp cooking wine (like mirin)
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 1/2 Tbsp chili powder

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the young napa cabbage and regular cabbage, then cut them into bite-sized pieces. Wash the green onions and chop them finely.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine all the seasoning ingredients (tuna extract, soy sauce, vinegar, cooking wine, sugar, sesame seeds, chili powder, and pepper). Whisk them together until well mixed to create a delicious sauce.
Step 3
Prepare a deep pot. Start by layering the bottom with a generous amount of the cut young napa cabbage and regular cabbage. Next, arrange the thinly sliced pork belly evenly over the vegetables. Finally, sprinkle the chopped green onions on top of the pork belly. Repeat this layering process 2-3 times to create a full and inviting dish.
Step 4
Once all the ingredients are layered in the pot, pour the prepared seasoning sauce evenly over the top. Add the 1/2 cup (100ml) of water.
Step 5
Cover the pot tightly with a lid. Reduce the heat to low and let it steam until the pork belly is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. This should take about 10 minutes.
Step 6
Serve the perfectly steamed young napa cabbage and pork belly. Enjoy it with soy sauce or wasabi according to your preference! It’s especially delicious served with a side of hot steamed rice.
