This is my mum's super easy black bean pork ribs Chinese recipe. Steamed black beans and ribs are a classic combination in Chinese cooking. It is often eaten as a Dim Sum dish but it is also a very common dish to make at home. My mum makes it a lot and I'll be following her pork ribs recipe closely.
Ingredients 1. Pork Ribs or Spareribs
2. fermented black soybeans (often called Chinese black beans)
3. 2 or 3 cloves of garlic
4. Cornstarch or cornflour`
5. Bicarbonate of Soda
6. White pepper
7. red chilli
8. Spring Onion
9. Soy sauce
10. Oyster Sauce
11. Sesame Oil
12. Vegetable Oil
In the past, I always made this black bean dish with spareribs rather than the larger pork ribs. However, since my local butcher's closed it is difficult to get spareribs. I get my pork ribs from ASDA but some supermarkets only sell ribs that are pre-marinated!
Ironically, it is easier to get the black beans, which are actually fermented preserved soybeans. I got mine from my local Chinese store but ordinary supermarkets often have black beans. Sometimes they are preserved in oil. Alternatively, you can always order dry black beans online.
Properly made, the black bean pork ribs or spareribs should be extremely tasty, tender and succulent. The secret is in the preparation of the ribs and the black bean marinade and I will go through that in the video. If you order dim sum black bean ribs in a restaurant, you may notice that the ribs are even softer and that is because the cook will often soak the ribs in an extremely potent alkaline solution made using "lye water" but for a homemade dish, I think this is unnecessary.
As with all dim sum dishes, the cooking part is extremely easy and quick. The black bean pork ribs are steamed for 15 to 20 minutes. I know there are similar recipes where the ribs are boiled and fried but I prefer the steaming method as it is much simpler and easier.
