Steamed Spareribs Food

STEAMED BLACK BEAN SPARERIBS

Steps:

• If the sparerib tips come in a slab, cut them into individual ribs.
• Toss together the ribs, light soy sauce, fermented black beans, cooking wine, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon white pepper in a large bowl. Let marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• When the ribs are almost ready, prepare a steamer setup with a rack in a large pot or wok (see Cook's Note). Add enough water to the pot so it reaches just below the rack, cover the pot and bring to a boil.
• Add the cornstarch and oil to the ribs and mix well. Place the ribs in a single layer on a large heatproof rimmed plate or shallow bowl that fits inside the pot. Sprinkle the ribs with the chiles.
• Place the plate on the rack in the pot, cover and steam until the ribs are opaque on the exterior and cooked through, 25 to 28 minutes (see Cook's Note). Garnish with the scallions and carefully remove the plate from the pot using tongs or oven mitts.

STEAMED SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Separate ribs into single pieces. In a large bowl, mix together soy sauce, sherry, scallion, ginger, and black beans. Add ribs and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. Coat a 9" heatproof plate with oil. In a shalow bowl mix cornstarch, five spice powder, and salt. Toss ribs in seasoned cornstarch to coat and place on oiled plate. Place in a bamboo steamer. Pour any remaining marinade over ribs. Cover and steam 45 minutes, until ribs are tender.

STEAMED BLACK BEAN SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Cut any excess fat off the spare ribs.
• Combine all the ingredients and spare ribs into a heat proof bowl.
• Marinate for 30 minutes.
• Place the spare ribs into a steamer, steam for one hour or until tender on medium high heat.
• Note: for those who don't have a steamer, I suggest to use a wok. Place 2 wooden chop stick diagonally on the wok and 2 more wooden chop stick horizontal on the wok. Fill the wok with water just a little bit below the chopstick. Then, place the spare ribs on top of the chop stick; afterward, cover and steam, but you have to check it often (every 15 minutes or so) to refill water into the wok.
