Step 1

Marinate: Rinse the pork ribs, drain and place them in a large bowl. Add an appropriate amount of oyster sauce, cooking wine, soy sauce, scallion and ginger powder, pepper powder, sugar, and barbecue sauce for marinating. During this process, flip the ribs to ensure both sides are flavored.

Step 2

After 4 hours, place the marinated ribs and the bowl into a steamer, steam over high heat for about 35 minutes.

Step 3

Heat oil in a pan, brush a small amount of salt on each rib, and then place them in a non-stick pan over medium heat to fry for a while. After that, pour all the sauce from the bowl into the pan.
