Today I will teach you how to make Steamed Spare Ribs with Salted Fish (咸鱼蒸排骨). This is Nonya style cooking, originated from Penang if I am not mistaken. I learn this dish from a recipe book. Borrowed from a friend of mine, Mr.Tsen.
I wanted to try some dishes from that cook book, but I always do not bother to borrow him. Last week, he finally handed over the cookbook to me, “go back and cook for me” he said. I accepted his request immediately. He is my dai kor, I cannot say NO because he drives Mazda 6 series.
Okay let’s start.
Ingredients:
- 500g spare ribs, cut into serving pieces
- 50g salted fish
- 5 shallots
- 1 tablespoon shredded ginger
- 3 chili padi
- 1 red chili
Seasoning:
- 1½ tablespoon sugar
- ½ tablespoon pepper
- ½ tablespoon light soya sauce
- ½ tablespoon sesame oil
- ¼ tablespoon salt
Method:
Cut chili, red onions and ginger into small pieces. Chop spare ribs too. Very easy.
Heat up oil, pan-fry salted fish until fragrant and crispy. Remove. My whole kitchen smell so nice. This is Danau salted fish, personal favourite! I am lucky to find it in the chinese convenient store. My friend drop by and asked “wahh, what’s that smell? so goood” 
Combine all ingredients, seasoning and marinate for 2-3 hours, including the salted fish. To speed up the marinate process, I stomped the ingredients together with a wooden spoon. The ginger and red onion mix so well together. I feel like I can eat it straight.
Steam at high heat for 25-30 minutes or until spare ribs are tender.
Serve hot with rice.
