This steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce dish is one of the most popular dishes in cantonese cuisine, a subcategory of Chinese cuisine. You could find this dish in most of the dim sum restaurant and it usually comes in a smaller portion than I am making today.
To make sure the pork fully absorbs the seasonings and they will taste great, I marinated the pork ribs for about 3 hours (Some people marinate even longer). So if you want to make this dish at home, remember to plan ahead. As for the cooking process, it is very simple, which is to steam cook the pork ribs.
Below is a summary of how I made this dish with pictures.I hope you enjoy making this steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce at home. If you like this recipe, please give a rating and share it with your friends!
