Steamed Spare Ribs with Black Beans is a classic Cantonese dish made by simmering pork spare ribs in a savory and slightly sweet black bean sauce until tender and flavorful. The dish gets its distinctive taste from fermented black beans that are stir-fried with aromatics and other seasonings like ginger, garlic, and soy sauce. This simple and hearty dish is typically served as a dim sum appetizer or paired with steamed rice and vegetables for a satisfying meal.
