Steamed Pork Ribs with Fermented Black Beans
This is really delicious with plain white rice. Rice is a staple food and an absolute must, for Asians. Of course, we do go for noodles and sometimes fast food too, once in a while, but rice remains the main staple food for Asians. One may sit at a dinner table with lavish spreads of delicious meats and vegetables, but it will not be complete without the bowl of rice. So in almost every home, you can find a bucket of uncooked rice and a rice cooker in the kitchen. Usually, when it is time to prepare for dinner, the first thing we do is to reach for the rice cooker and put it on, while the rest of the dishes for dinner are being prepared. In my home, rice is usually eaten with two or three different type of dishes which could be either meat or fish, a vegetable dish usually stir-fry and perhaps a dish of tofu, egg or soup. For dinner a few days ago, I cooked this dish, Steamed Pork Ribs with Fermented Black Beans, one of my family's favourite. It is really delicious eaten with plain white rice, even my hubby and son had second helpings with their rice! If you like Chinese food, then do give this a try! Ingredients
- 600gm pork ribs
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 30 gm ginger, minced
- 2 fresh red chili, chopped or sliced to small pieces
- 2 tbsp fermented black beans
- a small bunch of spring onions, chopped
- some cooking oil
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- To marinate the ribs :
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 1 tbsp ginger juice (pound some ginger and extract juice), or water
- 1 tsp sugar
- pinch of salt
- dash of ground white pepper
- 1 tbsp chinese cooking wine
Directions

I really enjoyed this recipe. I added a photo which shows how i used chop sticks in our wok to steam the dish about the water. This worked really well. This is a pretty strong black bean flavor. Our older son and the adults loved it, but it was a little strong for our younger ones. You could put in fewer black beans if you want it to appeal to kids.
This was delicious. We went without the red peppers due to our kids, but I think it would have been even better with them!
