Common mistakes
- Tianmianjiang contains sugar and burns easily; do not fry it dry over high heat or return cooked pork to the raw-meat plate.
Tips
Use just enough glaze to coat the pork, without turning it into broth. Read the tianmianjiang ingredient and allergen label, especially wheat and soy; then demonstrate a pancake with a small filling.
