A Chinese dim sum-style spare ribs dish featuring small pieces of pork spare ribs marinated with ginger aroma and coated in cornstarch, then steamed gently with black bean sauce.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Coating the meat with cornstarch before marinating helps lock in moisture, resulting in a much softer and chewier texture after steaming.
  • Do not marinate the ribs with black bean sauce from the start—this can make the seasoning too strong and overly salty inside the meat. Always add the sauce just before steaming.
  • When transferring to a serving dish, avoid scooping up excessive sauce residue from the bottom of the steamer—only lift out the meat cleanly to prevent oversalting.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate the savory, chewy taste of Hong Kong dim sum-style spare ribs.
  • People looking for a clean, moist steamed alternative to fried or grilled meats as an appetizer.
  • Those seeking a unique main course for guests or housewarming gatherings.
