Sometimes when we are short of time (whether we are in a hurry to go out to run some errands or we have too many chores to be completed), we have to think of the simplest dishes to cook so that there is food on the table for our loved ones. This dish - Steamed Pork Ribs - is one of the simplest dishes that can save us lots of time; it can also free us to do other dishes when we are in a hurry.
What we need are:
- 2 - 3 baby pork ribs. I am doing for only 2 persons. (Add or reduce the ribs according to the number of people to cook for.)
- 2 tbsp whole bean paste.
- 1 inch ginger, julienne.
- 3-4 cloves garlic, chopped.
Method:
- Prepare a wok with water. Turn on the fire to boil the water.
- Wash the pork ribs and let them dry.
- Arrange them on a metal plate.
- Coat all the ribs with the whole bean paste.
- Spread the julienne ginger on top of all the ribs.
- Spread the chopped garlic on the ribs.
- Put the plate of ribs onto the metal rack in the wok of boiling water.
- Cover the wok and steam the ribs for about 25 min (longer if there are more ribs).
- Check to see that the ribs are cooked.
- Transfer them onto a serving plate.
- Serve with piping hot rice.
