When you eat steamed pork with rice flour outside, it's either just steamed pork or just steamed pork ribs with rice flour. It's unlike making it at home, where you can add whatever you want! My portion includes steamed pork with rice flour, pork ribs, and pork belly. The pork belly's soft, glutinous skin, coated in rice flour, melts in your mouth. For a savory bite, try the pork ribs, where the spiciness of the bones is infused with the flavor of spices. For a leaner dish, try the pork belly, which is firm, flavorful, and not too dry. It perfectly captures all the flavors. And since it's homemade, the seasoning is generous, and the flavor comes purely from the ingredients and the care put into making it. If you like spicy food, add chili powder for a satisfying flavor. Every bite is satisfying, and it's much more satisfying than the monotonous portions you get out there!
