INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

* Note 1:  Have the butcher cut these into 1-inch        pieces for you on
his bandsaw.                               ** Note 2:  Can be found in
Chinese or Oriental markets. Blanch the ribs i n boiling water for 1
minute.          Drain well. Rinse the black beans (dow see) and mix with
other      marinade ingredients. Soak ribs in the marinade for 20 minutes.
Heat a wok and chow (stir-fry) the ribs until lightly browned. Remove from
the wok and drain the oil. Add fresh peanut oil, garlic and salt. Chow
until      the garlic browns a bit, then add the remaining i ngredients.
Return the ribs to the wok and toss in the sauce. Place in a steaming dish
and steam for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the ribs are very tender.
Serves 6 as a dim sum course. Variation: You can also avoid browning the
ribs.       Just add 1 tablespoon cornstarch to the marinade and continue
with the dish. When steamed, the cornstarch       will form a wonderful
gravy on the ribs.                     Comments:  This dish causes traffic
jams among the       dim sum carts in Hong Kong.  Everyone wants an order
and the chaos is infectious. Easy to prepare, they will just make a dim sum
party.                               Recipe Source: THE FRUGAL GOURMET by
