Today we will be making a classic cantonese dim sum dish
Prepare 280 to 300 grams of pork spare ribs, ask your butcher to slice them into thin pieces, and we will chop them up into bite size chunks
Wash it in clean with some water and soak it for 1 hour, change the water a few times throughout until the spare ribs turn white in colour, this process will get rid of the blood taste in the meat
Now we will prepare the marinating seasoning,---生姜丝15克(Shredded ginger 15g)豆豉 1汤匙(Fermented black beans 1tbsp--wash clean)鱼露1/2茶匙(Fish sauce ½ tsp)糖1/2茶匙(Sugar ½ tsp)盐1/4茶匙(Salt ¼ tsp)米酒1茶匙(Rice wine 1tsp)生粉 1汤匙(Cornstarch 1 tbsp).
Strain the spare ribs and place them into a bowl, add in the marinating seasoning, mix well and let it sit for 1 hour or even longer
After marinating take the spareribs out and place them into a clean bowl leaving behind the ginger and the fermented black bean
Add to the spare rib with 3 tablespoon of corn starch and combine to coat
Take out a medium size plate and place the ginger at the bottom then place the spare ribs on top, try not to overlap. this will allow some air circulation during the cooking process and keep the spare ribs tender and soft, drizzle on 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and top with some fresh red pepper
Add some water into a steamer and add the plate of spare ribs in when the water has come to a boil, steam on medium heat for 15 minutes and you'll know when its ready when the meat starts to fall off the bone.
Decorate with some scallion bits and we are finished
I guarantee that this dish will taste just as good as the ones in the restaurant, why don't you give it a try yourself
