Steam until the pork cubes are cooked into walnut shapes. Remove, strain the broth, discard the scallion segments, and arrange the pork in a soup bowl.

[Key Techniques]

  1. Remove the skin and excess fat from the pork tenderloin. Use a cross-hatch knife technique, cutting about three-fifths deep into the meat, creating a net-like pattern on both sides.
  2. Blanching the pork nuggets requires boiling water. Use medium heat and add them one by one. Do not stir vigorously; wait until they float up slightly, then gently stir and remove.
  3. Ensure the cornstarch slurry thickens the sauce brightly and clearly.
