Chop spare ribs into bite-sized pieces.
Add cornstarch then mix well to tenderise the pork. Cover with cold water and soak for 15 mins, giving it a mix every so often. Rinse well, drain and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
Season the ribs with light soy sauce, shaoxing wine, oyster sauce, white pepper, salt and sugar then mix well.
Add garlic, fermented black beans and chilli peppers then mix to combine.
Finish with cornstarch, mix, then add sesame oil, vegetable oil and give it a final mix to seal everything altogether.
Allow it to marinate for at least 20-30 mins (ideally overnight).
In a steamer or pan with boiling water, steam the ribs for 20 minutes.
Garnish with spring onion and enjoy with steamed rice!
