Steam Pork Shoulder With Black Bean Sauce

Since I had some left over Pork Shoulder(妃子骨) in the fridge, I decided to try making this Steam Pork Shoulder with Black Bean Sauce which recommend by one of my blogger friend. According to the recipe, Pork Shoulder bone has little cartilage and is of high quality. So when it is steam, it will still be smooth and soft.


You can also used Spareribs or Primeribs to make this dish as an alternative. It's a very easy to prepare dish, just need to marinate the meat and steam it for about 10 minutes.

Ingredients:
300g - 350g Pork Shoulder(妃子骨)
1 Teaspoon Sliced Shallot(小红葱头)
1 Teaspoon Minced Garlic
1 Teaspoon Minced Ginger
1 Teaspoon Minced Chillies
1 Teaspoon Chopped Spring Onion(青葱)

Seasoning:
1/2 Teaspoon Fermented Black Beans
1 Teaspoon Oyster Sauce
1/4 Teaspoon cornflour

Methods:
1. Wash pork shoulder and drain.
2. Preheat the pan with 1 teaspoon of oil, stir-fry the shallot until fragrant and slightly brown then removed and set aside.
3. Marinate the pork shoulder with dried shallot, minced garlic, minced ginger, chilli, spring onion and seasoning for at least 20 minutes to an hour.(you can drizzle a bit cool shallot oil together with the mixture for a nice fragrant when steaming)
4. Steam the pork shoulder mixture on medium heat for about 10 - 12 minutes or until meat is tender.
5. Remove from heat and sprinkler with some extra chopped spring onion and chillies.

Notes: If you find it too troublesome to fry the shallot, you can used those ready fried dried shallot from supermarket.
