How to make the steamed pork
Step 1
Boil a pot of water, add ginger, and cook the whole skinned pork in the water until it reaches a matured state, then lift it up and put a layer of soy sauce on it while it is still hot. After that, rub a layer of dark soy sauce on the skin of the meat while it is still hot, and let it dry. (If you don't dry it out, it will splash around when you fry it in the next step.)
Step 2
Heat a wok, pour in a moderate amount of cooking oil, and deep-fry the meat with the skin downward in the wok until the skin is brownish-red, then lift it out, and fry the skin until it's brownish-red and blistered.
Step 3
Put the slices into a bowl, pour in a small amount of soy sauce, add some chicken essence and mix well. (Step 4
Place the slices in a small bowl (see photo)

Step 6

Step 7
Snap a large plate over the bowl of steamed pork when serving, flip it over and remove the bowl.
