This moist steamed pork dish is pure comfort food. It’s like a Chinese version of meatloaf and just as satisfying. Many Hakkas refer to this savory ground pork mixture as hash or pork cake. This version contains aromatic dried tangerine peel and Tianjin (Tientsin) preserved vegetable. The dry, chewy shreds of fermented vegetable add a savory, garlicky saltiness.
