Instructions

Spread ribs in an even layer on a deep heatproof plate, pouring all the marinade over them. Scatter sliced chili on top.

Set up a steamer and bring water to a boil. Place the plate of ribs in the steamer, cover, and steam over high heat for 20–25 minutes until the pork is cooked through and tender — the meat should pull back from the bone slightly and be very tender when poked with a chopstick.

Remove from steamer. Top with sliced green onions. Serve directly on the plate as a dim sum dish alongside steamed rice, spooning the flavorful black bean sauce from the plate over the rice.
