    Pork With Black Bean Sauce

    Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe
    pork chop with chinese black bean sauce

    Steamed pork with black bean sauce is a classic Chinese dish. The black bean sauce is made with fermented black beans called dau si that has many health benefits and provides tremendous flavor! You may have seen this dish made with pork spareribs instead of pork chops at dim sum. We use pork chops because its quicker to cook and marinate. Whichever meat you choose, this dish will still be super delicious with hot white rice and green vegetables.

    For the pork chop marinade, we add lots of ginger to help with the gaminess of the meat. The ginger also helps improve blood flow which is great for PMS and flavor! Steaming the pork chops also makes the meat so juicy and soft! Don’t forget to tenderize (pound) the meat prior to marinating for an extra tender bite.
