Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork ribs, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (for garnish)
- 1 Red chili, sliced (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the pork ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, sugar, light soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger.
Step 3
Add the pork ribs to the mixing bowl and toss well to coat them evenly with the marinade. Let the ribs sit for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 4
Mix the cornstarch into the marinated ribs, making sure they are well coated. This will help keep the moisture in while steaming.
Step 5
Prepare a steamer by filling the bottom with water and bringing it to a boil over medium heat.
Step 6
Transfer the marinated ribs to a heatproof dish suitable for steaming. Drizzle the sesame oil over the top.
Step 7
Place the dish in the steamer and cover. Steam the ribs over simmering water for about 45 minutes, or until the ribs are tender and cooked through.
Step 8
Carefully remove the dish from the steamer. Garnish with chopped green onions and sliced red chili if desired.
Step 9
Serve the steamed pork ribs hot, accompanied by rice or other sides.
