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

Directions

Step 1

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).

Step 2

Soak the fermented black beans in water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and mash them lightly with the back of a spoon.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the pork rib pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let the ribs marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Transfer the marinated ribs with all the sauce to the heatproof plate, spreading them out in a single layer to allow even cooking.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the chopped red chili over the ribs for added heat.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Carefully remove the plate from the steamer. Garnish the steamed ribs with chopped green onions.

Step 10

Serve the Gluten-Free Steamed Pork Ribs with Black Bean Sauce hot, either on their own or as a side dish with steamed rice.
