Wendell's Steamed Spareribs with Black Beans

Wendell made this last night. The recipe can be found here. 

The best thing about the guys doing all this cooking lately is that the freezer is getting cleaned out!!

2 pounds pork spareribs, cut into 1-inch cubes

3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

1 teaspoon ginger, peeled and minced

2 Tablespoons Chinese rice cooking wine

2 Tablespoons light soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 teaspoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon Salt

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 Tablespoons fermented black beans, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons green onions, chopped

1. Rinse pork ribs and drain very well. Pat dry.

2. In a bowl, combine pork ribs, Chinese wine, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, salt, and sugar. Stir to fully coat meat and marinate for about 20 to 30 minutes.

3. Add cornstarch and combine until ribs are coated. Add black beans and stir to distribute.

4. Transfer pork into a heat-proof wide, shallow plate.

5. Prepare a steamer by bringing about two inches of water to a boil.
