Pickled Mustard Steamed Ribs – Sybaritica

These Pickled Mustard Steamed Ribs pair the pungent heat of chili with the sweet-sour tang of Thai-style Pickled Mustard Greens and make a great appetizer.

Servings: 4 as an appetizer

• ½ lb. Pork spareribs lightly pre-browned in a little oil;
• ½ cup Pickled Mustard Greens;
• ¼ cup thinly sliced Onion;
• ¼ cup Flour;
• 1 tbsp. Light Soy Sauce;
• 1 tbsp. Rice Wine;
• ¼ tsp. Salt;
• 1 Tbsp. Sugar
• 1 ½ tbsp. Chopped Red Chili;

• Toss the ribs with the flour, rubbing the flour into each rib really well so that as much as possible gets absorbed by the meat. Shake off any excess.
• Toss the ribs with the salt and sugar, then add the onions, chili, soy sauce, and rice wine, and stir well to coat the ribs evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• Stir the pickled mustard greens in with the ribs and transfer everything to a suitable steaming dish.
• Sprinkle about a ¼ cup of water over top of the ribs, and then steam for about 30 – 45 minutes until the ribs are nicely tender.
