How to enjoy Foshan's street-food highlights.
🐷 How to Eat Jun’an Steamed Pork
- Choose a cut：Shoulder and rump have the crispest skin; the loin is the most tender. Choose your preferred cut.
- Tear rather than slice：Tear the meat along its grain by hand to retain more juices and texture than slicing.
- Try the dipping sauces：Start with garlic soy sauce to appreciate the pork, then try sand-ginger sauce for a different layer of flavor.
