Recipe Tips

- Cut the pork into small, bite-sized pieces for quicker cooking and easier eating. - Make sure to rinse the rice well to remove excess starch and prevent it from becoming sticky. - Use a steamer basket to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the wok. - If you don't have a steamer basket, you can use a plate or bowl instead. Simply place the rice and pork on the plate or bowl, cover it with foil, and steam in the wok until heated through.
