My dad gave me this recipe. My brother and I grew up eating spareribs prepared this Chinese way. There are any a few ingredients, but it yields a lot of flavor. It’s slightly salty, but if you eat it with rice it should balance out.
The Basics
- Pork spareribs – Washed and separate each rib
- Fresh ginger – about 1 inch; peeled and sliced
- Soy sauce – about 2 tbsp.
- Sugar – 1 tbsp.
- 1/2 cup of water
- Black bean garlic sauce – Can be found at Asian supermarkets
The Rundown
Add all spare ribs in a deep pot.
Add 2 heaping tbsp. of black bean sauce, sugar, ginger, soy sauce and water. Mix to combine all ingredients.
Head until just boiling. Cover pot and let cook for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure the pork is cooked thoroughly.
This is what the finished product will look like. There will be oil on top that can be skimmed off with a spoon. Serve with rice.
