This classic Chinese dish may appear to be simple and straightforward, however it is anything but tame. The principal flavor note comes from the seasoned fermented soybean sauce complete with sweet bean sauce, peanut butter and chili broad bean paste. They use this to flavor the slow cooked minced pork, allowing it to absorb all of those wonderful flavor peaks. This staple of Chinese life is complex and comforting in every way. It’s as if the flavors had known each other for their entire lives. Serve it with a generous mound of perfectly cooked  wheat noodles, add in the crispy freshness of sliced cucumbers and green onions and you have a quick snack or small meal in the blink of an eye. Fun food fast. Good job Steam Boys
