At the table
Share the pot. Tear or cut the bread, scoop vegetables and pork alongside, and use the bread to pick up sauce. Set aside whole spices and chili pieces.
Confirm pork belly or ribs, chili level and serving size. The sauce contains soy and oyster; the bread contains wheat.
Ribs may replace belly. Thicker or thinner breads and stacked dumpling-wrapper shortcuts exist; they are not extra ingredients in this version.
