Indulge in homemade Cebu City steamed rice dim sum featuring savory pork belly and shrimp stew on a bed of fragrant fried rice - a Filipino favorite.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound pork belly, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 2 teaspoons Chinese cooking wine
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 0.5 tablespoon fried shallots
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, or to taste
  • 0.25 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  • 0.25 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice, cooled, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
  • 3 drops sesame oil, or to taste
Instructions:
  • Combine pork belly with savory cooking wine, umami-rich oyster sauce, cornstarch for a crispy texture, aromatic sesame oil, and a pinch of salt and black pepper in a bowl. Let it marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 20 minutes.
  • In a pot over medium-high heat, warm vegetable oil. Sauté garlic and shallots until fragrant, about 1 minute. Brown pork pieces for about 6 minutes. Add water, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce, then bring to a boil with the lid on. Simmer over medium heat until pork is tender and liquid reduces by half, around 30 minutes.
  • Cut the shrimp into bite-sized pieces. Combine the cornstarch and water in a bowl.
  • Bring the stew to a vigorous boil, then introduce the shrimp and peas, cooking until the shrimp turns pink, approximately 2 minutes. Swiftly incorporate the cornstarch mixture, and continue to cook and stir until the gravy thickens, which should take about 7 to 10 minutes.
  • In a hot wok, saute fragrant garlic in oil. Increase heat, add rice, and break it up with a spatula until loosened. Stir in oyster sauce and soy sauce, then cook until rice is fluffy and heated through. Finish by adding sesame oil.
  • Scoop the flavorful fried rice into 3-4 bowls and top each with an equal amount of the delicious pork and shrimp stew.
