Kau Yuk (Steamed Pork)

• 2 pounds belly pork
• 1 tbsp. shoyu
• 2 tbsp. brown sugar
• 2 tbsp. red bean curd
• 1/4 tsp. monosodium glutamate
• 1 tbsp. thick shoyu
• 1 tsp. salt
• 4 drops red coloring
• 1/8 tsp. 5-spice powder
• 1 slice ginger, crushed
• 1 clove garlic, crushed

Boil pork for 15 minutes. Remove pork from water and cool, pricking skin with chopstick to get oil out. Save water for soup. Rub the pork with shoyu and fry in hot oil to brown on all sides. Slice crosswise, place in bowl with skin side down. Mix all remaining ingredients and pour over pork. Place in steamer and steam for about 2 hours until tender. Pressure cooker may be used to cook in 30 minutes. If desired, slices of potato may be placed between the pork slices.
