How to cook Kiu Nyuk (pork with yams)?

Kiu Nyuk is a traditional Hakka dish.
 It is one of the many dishes that I learned from my father.
I  adapted his recipe to suit my liking.

Ingredients 

1. Two big yams

2. 1KG of pork belly

3. preserved bean curd

4. 5 teaspoons of cumin powder

   5. 1 teaspoons of Ajinomoto

     6.2 teaspoons of salt

   7.1 cup of water

   8.Cooking oil 

Steps 

1. Peel the skin and slice them .
    The thickness of the yam should be around 1.5 cm . These were are bit thin; these would taste dry epecially after frying

2.Slice your pork into slices as thick as your yam.

3. Heat the cooking oil (enough for frying the yams and the pork)

4.  Deep-fry the yams , then the pork.

5. In a separate bowl, mix preserved bean curds, cumin powder , salt and ajinomoto. leave it for 5 minutes.Add some water, the mixture should be like a thin paste.

6. Coat the fried ingredients with the paste (step 5) Arrange the slices of pork and yam (next to each other) 

7.Steam it. when you feel that the tenderness of the yam suits your taste, it's time to eat. I usually did around up to two hours with low heat. 

This is my third attempt making this. Still need more practice but my father said the yams were good. usually my father uses the red preserved bean curds but i only had the white one. The type of the preserved bean curds affects the colour. Anyway I'm impressed with this one, not too bad I guess.
