Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork spare ribs
- 2 tablespoons Fermented black beans
- 1 tablespoon Gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce (gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (gluten-free)
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 Red chili, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 stalks Green onion, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Water
Instructions
Rinse the pork spare ribs under cold water and pat them dry. Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut the ribs into bite-sized pieces (about 1-2 inches in length).
Soak the fermented black beans in water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and mash them lightly with the back of a spoon.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed black beans, gluten-free soy sauce, gluten-free oyster sauce, gluten-free Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, sugar, and water. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the pork rib pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let the ribs marinate for 15 minutes.
Prepare a steamer by filling the bottom pot or pan with water and bringing it to a boil. Place a heatproof plate that fits your steamer on top of the steamer rack.
Transfer the marinated ribs with all the sauce to the heatproof plate, spreading them out in a single layer to allow even cooking.
If desired, sprinkle the chopped red chili over the ribs for added heat.
Place the plate into the steamer, cover with a lid, and steam over medium-high heat for 18-20 minutes, or until the ribs are cooked through and tender.
Carefully remove the plate from the steamer. Garnish the steamed ribs with chopped green onions.
Serve the Gluten-Free Steamed Pork Ribs with Black Bean Sauce hot, either on their own or as a side dish with steamed rice.
