Steamed Pork Belly Recipe (Mei Cai Kou Rou 梅菜扣肉)

Hi, everyone, welcome to Souped Up Recipes. Today we are making another Hakka recipe - Mei Cai Kou Rou. This is one of those difficult but delicious recipes that we only make it for big events, such as Chinese new year eve dinner or wedding. This is not a dish that you can easily find in a take out restaurant due to the high labor cost. If you are interested in the real traditional Chinese flavor, you should give this try.
