Steamed Ribs with Black Bean Sauce
Description
This recipe starts with soaking pork ribs to prepare their texture. The ribs are then marinated for several hours in a blend of Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, sugar, ginger, fermented black beans, and spring onions. This combination imparts salty, sweet, savory, and pungent notes. Coating the marinated ribs with cornstarch before steaming helps to slightly thicken the sauce and improve texture. Finely chopped garlic and additional fermented black beans are added, then hot vegetable oil is poured over to release aromas.
Steaming the ribs for 30 minutes after water boils results in tender meat infused with the complex, earthy flavor of black beans. This gentle cooking method preserves moisture and allows the sauce components to mellow and marry.
Serve the ribs hot to best enjoy the full flavor and tender bite characteristic of this style of Chinese steamed ribs.
