Millet Steamed Ribs
1.
The ingredients are ready.
2.
Soak glutinous millet in water overnight. If time is too late, soak for at least 3-4 hours.
3.
Chop the ribs into small pieces and soak them in cold water for half an hour, changing the water twice to soak the blood blisters.
4.
Soak the ribs to control the moisture, add salt, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and bean paste, mix well, and marinate for 2 hours.
5.
Place the marinated ribs in a bowl.
6.
Drain the soaked millet, pour it on the ribs, use chopsticks to pick up the ribs and stir, so that each piece is covered with millet.
7.
Steam in the basket for 30 minutes until the ribs are tender and ready to be served. Sprinkle chopped green onion on the surface and serve!
8.
Sprinkle with chopped millet pepper and chopped green onion and serve. Millet is a perfect match with pork ribs. When you pair them together, after millet absorbs the fat from the pork ribs, the taste is extraordinarily soft and greasy. The ribs don’t feel greasy at all, which is much better than the steamed pork we usually make.
Tips:
Millet is not an ordinary porridge millet. Choose glutinous millet. The steamed taste is softer and smoother. When you buy it, you can tell the store directly that it is used for steaming meat. You know that glutinous millet will taste better if it is soaked for one night in advance.
The ribs are slightly cut into small pieces, with a little fat, and a little fat will be better when steamed. If you want a combination of meat and vegetables, you can put potatoes or yams underneath.
This dish can be sweet or savoury. I have eaten it sweet at a friend's house. It is also quite good. Those who like sweets can try it.
