Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 1.5 lb pork ribs into 2-inch pieces and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, mix the 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp cornstarch until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Add the ribs to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange the ribs in a single layer in a heatproof dish that fits your steamer.

  5. Step 5

    Steam over boiling water, covered, until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone, about 40 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle with the 1 tsp sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions before serving hot.

  7. Step 7

    Serve the ribs with the accumulated juices spooned over the top.
