  1. Tonight for dinner we had steamed pork belly with vegetables. Incredibly easy to make and healthy. The flavors shine through from the cilantro seasoned soy sauce. Highly recommend if you want to impress with minimal work.

    This recipe is from our cookbook, UMMA, pg 168. Full recipe is below (it’s only two steps!) but if you want to support, you can purchase our cookbook at the link in our bio for more.

    INGREDIENTS:
    12 ounces (340 grams) mung bean sprouts
    8 ounces (227 grams) enoki mushrooms, ends trimmed, separated at the base
    1/4 cup (71 grams) thinly sliced yellow onion
    1 large carrot (100 grams), peeled and cut into 3‑inch matchsticks
    4 ounces (113 grams) garlic chives, cut into 2‑inch lengths
    4 ounces (113 grams) napa cabbage, innermost yellow leaves only, cut into 2‑inch pieces
    14 ounces (397 grams) thinly sliced frozen pork belly
    1/2 cup water
    1 green onion, sliced thin
    1/2 teaspoon fine salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper

    For the sauce:
    1/2 cup soy sauce
    6 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
    2 tablespoons maesil cheong (plum extract syrup)
    2 tablespoons minced garlic
    2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
    Prepared Korean mustard

    INSTRUCTIONS:
    1. Arrange the bean sprouts in an even layer in a shallow 6‑quart pan, followed by a layer of mushrooms. Scatter the yellow onion over the mushrooms, then arrange the carrot, chives, and cabbage on top in 3 even rows. Arrange the pork on top in rows over the vegetables. Drizzle the water through the gaps in the pork belly. Sprinkle with the green onion, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until the pork is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.

    2 Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, maesil cheong, garlic, and cilantro in a bowl, then divide the sauce among individual small bowls; place a small portion of mustard in each bowl for each person to mix into the sauce to their liking. Place the pan at the center of the table and serve with the dipping sauce.

  2. Can I move in as your adopted sibling? 😭🩷 Your mom’s cooking is such a blessing!!

  3. As somebody who (and im not proud about this) hates vegetables mainly because my mother never fed me any, you are very lucky to have a mother like this

  4. Looks lovely and tasty. All that veg in there too! I'd bloomin love to be a guest round your table! 😂❤❤

  5. What do your or did your parents do for work? Im happy for you don’t get me wrong. It seems you/they have lived a very comfortable life
