I think this recipe has an Asian origin since Filipino cooking most of the time involves boiling, roasting, frying and stewing. Most of the steamed cooked dishes are Chinese dishes and this recipe uses steaming as a good and healthy cooking method. Cooking is easy, just combine the pork, soy sauce, rice wine, ginger and dried shrimps, steam it until the pork is tender. Make a sauce from the pork drippings and pour it over the pork strips.
