Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons Fermented black beans
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 Red chili (optional)
- 2 Scallions
Instructions
Clean the pork ribs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Soak the fermented black beans in a little water for a few minutes, then drain and coarsely chop.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped black beans, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well to create the black bean sauce.
Add the pork ribs to the bowl and toss to evenly coat the ribs with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Chop the red chili if using, and slice the scallions.
Transfer the marinated pork ribs into a shallow heatproof dish that will fit into your steamer.
Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped red chili, if using, over the top of the pork ribs.
Bring a pot of water to boil and place the steam rack on top. Lower the heat to medium-high.
Carefully place the dish with pork ribs onto the steamer rack. Cover and steam for about 35-40 minutes, until the ribs are tender and fully cooked.
Once cooked, remove the dish from the steamer and garnish with sliced scallions.
Serve the steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce hot, accompanied by steamed rice if desired.
