Pai Gwut

Pai gwut is a traditional dish that’s usually served as a part of dim sum. It consists of steamed pork ribs. The pork rib tips are steamed with oil and while black beans. Typical ingredients include black bean sauce, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, rice wine, pepper, sugar, oil, and sesame oil. Once done, the ribs are traditionally served covered in rich sauce in small bamboo steamers. Pai gwut can also be served on its own as an appetizer, and it’s then usually accompanied by rice and garnished with chopped scallions.
