Equipment
- 1 Bamboo Steamer
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 500 grams spare ribs, rinse and cut into bite size
- 1 tbsp cornstarch, to clean spare ribs
- 15 grams ginger, peeled and cut into strips
- 1 stalk spring onion, chopped
- 1 red chilli, chopped
Marinate:
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- ½ tbsp fermented bean paste
- 1 tbsp shaoxing wine
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Have ready all the ingredients needed.
First, prepare the spare ribs. Cut the spare ribs into bite size pieces. Then mix with some cornstarch and rinse clean for 1 to 2 minutes with running water. Then pat dry the spare ribs in thick paper towels.
Then add some flavours into the spare ribs. To do this, prepare the ingredients to marinate the spare ribs.
Mix hoisin sauce and fermented bean paste into the spare ribs. Then add in Shaoxing wine and finally cornstarch. With your hand, slowly and gently massage the ribs around for about 1 minute to evenly distribute all the flavours and the ribs absorb the flavours. Cover with cling wrap and leave to marinate for 1 hour. While waiting, cut all the other ingredients needed.
Cut peeled ginger into long strips. Then chopped spring onion and red chillies as garnish. And we are ready to steam the spare ribs.
Before we steam the marinated spare rib, first prepare the bamboo steamer. Line an aluminium foil over the bottom and side of a medium size bamboo steamer.
Place marinated spare ribs into lined bamboo steamer. Top with shredded ginger and chopped red chilli.
Bring water to a rolling boil in wok or steamer. Be sure to add enough water.
Place spare ribs in steamer. Cover and steam the spare ribs on high heat for about 30 minutes or until cooked. Test for doneness with a chopstick. And we are done!
Remove from steamer and garnish with chopped spring onions, extra ginger strips and chopped chillies.
Serve immediately when hot. Goes well on its own or with white rice or porridge. Enjoy!

Notes
- Cut the ribs into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1.5 cm thick. The technique is to cut the part of the flesh between the bones.
- Mix spare ribs with cornstarch and rinse well in running water to clean the ribs. Rinsing also helps wash away some of the taste of blood so the steamed ribs will taste good.
- Let spare ribs come to room temperature before steaming. Meat gets tough when cooked cold, so let the ribs rest out of the fridge for at least 30 minutes before steaming.
- Mixing in some corn starch to marinade helps to protect the spare ribs from powerful steam heat by forming a protective film around the meat.
