Preparation

• Marinate pork ribs with salted black beans, garlic, ginger and seasonings.
• Leave for at least 10 minutes.
  
  Add in cornstarch/tapioca starch to bind lightly.
• A pinch will do cos pork ribs should be fairly moist with sauce after steaming and too much cornstarch/tapioca tends to dry up the dish
• Leave this aside while you cook rice in the rice cooker.
  
• Watch out for the rice to loose the big bubbles and just before it finishes cooking and turn to 'warm' function, put in the prepared pork ribs to steam.
• Alternatively steam prepared pork ribs over rapidly boiling water for 7 - 8 minutes.
• Sprinkle with sesame oil before serving hot.
