Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork ribs (cut into small pieces)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium, gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce (sugar-free, keto-compliant)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (julienned)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Black fermented beans (optional, crushed and rinsed)
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
- 2 stalks Scallions (sliced, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the pork ribs by cutting them into small, bite-sized pieces. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, julienned ginger, salt, white pepper, red chili flakes (if using), and black fermented beans (if using). Mix well.
Add the pork ribs into the marinade and coat each piece evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the ribs to marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the fridge for better flavor.
If using xanthan gum for thickening, sprinkle it over the marinated ribs and mix thoroughly to ensure even coating.
Arrange the marinated pork ribs in a single layer on a heat-safe plate or shallow dish that fits into your steamer.
Set up a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, place the dish of ribs into the steamer, cover with the lid, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Steam the pork ribs for 25-30 minutes or until they are fully cooked and tender.
Carefully remove the steamed ribs from the steamer and sprinkle the sliced scallions on top as a garnish.
Serve the keto steamed pork ribs hot as a main dish or appetizer, and enjoy!
