DIM SUM STEAMED SPARE RIBS WITH BLACK BEANS

I forgot to put these on my original list. The flavors here are good, tastes like dim sum black bean ribs. So simple – just marinate and steam.

This time I tried a technique that some other recipes recommend, for soaking and massaging the ribs to tenderize and clean the flavor. Did it make a difference? I don’t know, they were pretty good the last time too when I didn’t do any of that. And cornstarch helps tenderize, so I don’t know that I needed to massage anything. But who’s to tell without a side-by-side.

This marinade works works great with chicken too.
