My daughter, Liane, took a nursing position in Redding the end of last year and now lives roughly 9 hours/570 miles away from me. I miss my big baby terribly. Not only do I long for our long conversations about anything and everything, I also miss our many food adventures. Eating out and discovering new restaurants have always been our bonding activity. We both enjoy Korean BBQs, all-you-can-eat sushi places and most of all, dimsum houses. But while we equally love a piping bowl of congee, we each have our own set of dimsum favorites. I prefer char sui bao, she likes siomai. I prefer chicken feet, she likes steamed spareribs with black beans. I cooked this pork dish over the weekend and with every bite I took, I wished she’d rest her wings and come home.
- 1 pound pork spareribs, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 Tablespoon Chinese rice cooking wine
- 1 Tablespoon light soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 Tablespoon oil
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 2 Tablespoons dried fermented black beans, rinsed and coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Rinse pork ribs and drain very well. Pat dry.
- In a bowl, combine Chinese wine, soy sauce, salt and sugar. Whisk until well-dispersed.
- In a pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add garlic and cook until aromatic. Add black beans and cook, mashing with back of spoon, for about 1 minute. Add wine-soy sauce mixture and cook for about 10 to 20 seconds. Remove from pan and allow to cool.
- In a bowl, combine pork ribs and black bean mixture. Marinate for about 30 minutes. Add cornstarch and mix until ribs are coated.
- Transfer pork into heat-proof plate.
- Prepare steamer by heating water. Place plate of ribs in steamer, cover and steam for about 20 to 25 minutes or until meat is cooked through. Remove from steamer and serve hot.
