Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Put the spareribs in a pot under cold water and cook until they bleed and remove from the water

   

2. 2 Add the following seasonings to the meat: fried Sichuan bean paste, ginger, oyster sauce, cooking wine, and sugar. The white object in the lower left of the picture is fermented rice wine, also known as rice wine and fermented glutinous rice (a specialty of Xiaogan, Hubei). Available in supermarkets.

   

3. 3 Mix these seasonings with the ribs. If you eat them at night, start marinating them in the morning. Flip several times halfway through to allow the flavors to mix evenly.

   

4. 4 Normally, the potatoes at the bottom of steamed pork ribs are placed directly on the bottom of the cage, because our family thinks the potatoes are very tasteless, so I will also add them to the meat and marinate them together to make the potatoes themselves taste better.

   

5. 5 Start making steamed pork powder: 100 grams of rice, 30 grams of glutinous rice, one star anise, a few dried chili peppers, and a few Sichuan peppercorns. You can control the amount according to your spicy taste. Adding glutinous rice will make the steamed pork noodles softer and glutinous, but if you add too much glutinous rice, the noodles will be particularly sticky as soon as it cools down, and it will taste fatter with the meat, so I will mix it at a ratio of 3:1.

   

6. 6 Put it in the pot and stir-fry continuously. When it is almost cooked, add the bay leaves. If the aroma is added too early, it will have a bitter taste. When the rice is golden, pick it up

   

7. 7 First, take out the chili peppers, peppercorns, star anise, and aromatics, and use a food processor to beat them until they are crushed. These ingredients must be very powdery, otherwise it will be very disappointing if you bite into a piece of peppercorns or spices. After beating the spice powder, beat the rice flour. We will not beat the rice flour until it is very powdery, but let it retain a little bit of small particles, which will taste better

   

8. 8 Mix the crushed spice powder and rice flour, and the seemingly troublesome steamed pork noodle is ready. Dear friends, you can make more at one time and save the unused ones so that you don’t have to worry about it next time

   

9. 9 Pour the rice noodles into the marinated pork ribs and potatoes and mix evenly.

   

10. 10 Rinse the lotus leaves with water. Water will not stay on the surface of the lotus leaves, so you can rinse away any dust that may be on them. Place on the steamer basket. Lotus leaves can be purchased online

    

11. 11 Put the potatoes first

    

12. 12 Then place the ribs on the potatoes

    

13. 13 Close the lotus leaves and cover. Steam over high heat for 40 minutes

    

14. 14 After steaming, open the lotus leaves and sprinkle with chopped green onion

    

15. 15 The fragrance of lotus is tangy, soft and delicious
