Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fermented black beans (optional)
- 1 piece Green onions (for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the pork ribs into bite-sized pieces if not pre-cut. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. If using, add chopped fermented black beans for extra flavor.
Step 3
Add the pork ribs to the marinade and mix well to ensure they are evenly coated. Cover and let them marinate for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
Step 4
Prepare a bamboo steamer or a steaming setup by bringing water to a boil in a large pot or wok.
Step 5
Arrange the marinated pork ribs evenly on a heatproof plate suitable for steaming. Avoid overcrowding the ribs to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Place the plate in the steamer and cover with the lid. Steam the ribs over medium-high heat for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and tender.
Step 7
Once done, remove the plate from the steamer carefully using tongs. Sprinkle chopped green onions and chili flakes (if desired) on top as garnish.
Step 8
Serve the steamed pork ribs hot and enjoy as a low-carb main dish or as part of a larger meal.
