Steam spare ribs with blackbean garlic sauce

This one is probably one of my favorite recipes from my mom. I ate it since I was a kid and still haven't grown tire yet.

Ingredients:
Spare ribs, cut into cubes


Dried black beans (i used around 20-30 beans)
Garlic (i had to use 4 cloves)
Corn starch
Grounded white pepper
Salt
Soy Sauce
Oyster Sauce


Step 0 (yes, zero):
Boil some water

Step 1:
Finely dice the dried black beans and garlic.

Step 2:
Add the diced black bean and garlic onto the ribs. Also add in some salt, corn starch, grounded white pepper, soy sauce and oyster sauce. Just need a bit of everything, depending on how salty you want the dish to be then you'll have to adjust the portions. The corn starch is to make the liquid more condense so it isn't too watery. 1.5-2 tea spoons should be good.

Step 3:
Mix everything, I usually use my hands for this part. It should look something like this after you are done.

Step 4:
Steam this plate over the boiling water for around 15-18 minutes. You'll need to use a fork to flip the ribs around every 5 minutes. Avoid over cooking it.

Step 5:
serve and enjoy!


Try this plate out sometimes, you wouldn't be disappointed.
