EZCR#85 - FRIED SPARE RIBS WITH CAPSICUM

This is a lovely oriental style spare ribs dish which needs no braising yet the ribs are tender and very flavourful seasoned with fermented black beans.  

A very simple dish yet awesome to serve with rice.  It is savoury dish yet not salty though fermented black beans are salty.

I wouldn’t mind preparing this dish often as it is really good.
