Introduction
This recipe for steamed pork ribs with medicinal herbs is simple to prepare, resulting in tender, succulent meat that is neither tough nor greasy. By steaming with Codonopsis root (Dang Shen), Astragalus (Bei Qi), Cordyceps flowers, and red dates, the dish is not only aromatic but also nourishing—a wholesome home-cooked meal suitable for all ages.
Step 1
Cut the fresh pork ribs into small, evenly sized pieces.
Step 2
Place the ribs in a bowl, add a little salt and cornstarch, and scrub with your hands for about 1 minute. Rinse with water, then continue to rinse under a thin stream of running water for about 10 minutes until the ribs turn pale and are free of blood to effectively remove any gamey odor.
Step 3
Drain the rinsed ribs thoroughly and use paper towels to pat the surface completely dry.
Step 4
Start marinating. Add a little oyster sauce, salt, chicken powder, white pepper, Shaoxing wine, and about 1 tbsp of light soy sauce to the bowl. Mix vigorously with your hands for about 2 minutes until the surface of the ribs becomes sticky.
Step 5
Add an appropriate amount of cornstarch and mix again with your hands to lock in the moisture.

Important Notes
💡 When steaming, always use fresh spare ribs for the most tender texture.
⚠️ Be sure to pat the washed ribs dry with paper towels; excess water will dilute the seasoning and affect both the marination and the texture.
✨ The order of marination is crucial: season and mix until tacky, add cornstarch, then add oil to perfectly lock in the juices and flavor.
🔥 Ribs must be placed in the steamer only after the water is boiling, and cooked over high heat throughout to ensure they stay tender and cook quickly.
🍽️ Arrange the ribs in a single layer to avoid overlapping, as overlapping pieces may cook unevenly.
