Gua bao (Kuah pau) from Made in Taiwan: Recipes and Stories from the Island Nation (page 262) by Clarissa Wei

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Pickled mustard greens (Suan cai/Kiam tshai); Sweet peanut powder (Hua sheng tang fen/Thoo tau thng hun)

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute sake for michiu and dried mandarin orange peel for dried tangerine peel. See recipe for fried shallots p. 368.

    This is absolutely delicious! The pork belly is straightforward—although I added ginger and a star anise to the poaching broth—and the chopped pickled mustard green topping was exceptional. The peanut sugar makes far more than is needed for this recipe. I steamed store-bought buns and would do so again.
