Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fermented black beans (optional)
- 1 piece Green onions (for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Cut the pork ribs into bite-sized pieces if not pre-cut. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. If using, add chopped fermented black beans for extra flavor.
Add the pork ribs to the marinade and mix well to ensure they are evenly coated. Cover and let them marinate for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
Prepare a bamboo steamer or a steaming setup by bringing water to a boil in a large pot or wok.
Arrange the marinated pork ribs evenly on a heatproof plate suitable for steaming. Avoid overcrowding the ribs to ensure even cooking.
Place the plate in the steamer and cover with the lid. Steam the ribs over medium-high heat for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and tender.
Once done, remove the plate from the steamer carefully using tongs. Sprinkle chopped green onions and chili flakes (if desired) on top as garnish.
Serve the steamed pork ribs hot and enjoy as a low-carb main dish or as part of a larger meal.
