Tips:
1. When the pork belly is cooked in the pot, add two spoons of light soy sauce, so that the meat will be colored directly after it is cooked, and it is convenient to color it without brushing the old soy sauce.
2. The dried plums should be rinsed two or three times to remove the sediment and salt, otherwise it will be very salty, stir-fry the water and add some light soy sauce and chicken powder, so that the taste is very fragrant after steaming.
3. The steaming time in the pot is about one hour, remember to add water in the middle, if the pressure cooker steams for about 15 minutes, it will be fine.
