Steamed Pork Ribs with Black Bean Sauce

This sweet-salty steamed dish is an ultimate classic Chinese food favorite. For a healthier take, use lean pork ribs. You can also enjoy it as a rice topping—just set the ribs over a cup of hot rice and indulge. Yummy!

Serves 4  Prep Time 5 minutes plus 1 hour marinating time  Cooking Time 20 minutes

500 grams pork spareribs, cut into 2-inch lengths
2 tablespoons black bean garlic sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)

1  Wash pork ribs and pat dry. In a bowl, combine black bean garlic sauce, cooking wine, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Mix together with pork ribs. Marinate for at least 1 hour.

2  Place the bowl with marinated spareribs in steamer. Cover and steam for about 20 minutes or until spareribs are cooked through.

3  Transfer cooked ribs to a serving dish. Pour sauce on top and serve immediately. Garnish with cilantro leaves if desired.
