Inspired by A. B. (not our A. B.), I decided to grab some pork for tonight's dinner, which is also my inaugural attempt at steaming with new steamer.

After some slight deliberation, I ended up going with pork slices: 1/4" pork loin slices seasoned with salt, pepper + shallots & steamed with rosemary-accented water on pieces of leeks. The end result was sufficently soft & flavorful, albeit on the simple side. I'll have to experiment with the recipe some more to see if I can keep it simple and clean, but a little more satisfying tastewise.

Hopefully I can ferret out other good steaming recipes a la IRON CHEF....I like having a method of cooking food delicately without added fat or time without leeching certain aspects of flavors away the ingredients.

BTW, that was only a quarter of the pork loin. The rest is marniating overnite in a bath of diluted soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, brown sugar and dried chile powder. That should roast up quite nicely with a honey & sesame seed coating to finish.
