Steamed Black Beans Spare Ribs

 

During the hot scorching weather, I started looking through recipe books for recipes that are delicious and easy to cook, best without sweating out in the kitchen.  I found this recipe which is simple and only requires steaming.  In the original recipe, the pork ribs are steamed together with rice in individual serving bowls.

This pork rib dish is appetising, tasty and good served with rice and an easy to cook vegetable soup [EZ Nutritious Watercress Soup].

I complained about the hot weather and my hubby daren't complain about the meal,  just a meat dish, soup and rice.  Hope, this isn't too simple a meal for the family.
