Taiwanese Style Steamed Pork Ribs With Yam

I discovered a new recipe to be added to my dinner menu list.  It is a Taiwanese style of steamed pork ribs with yam.  A very flavourful dish and for me it's a new way of cooking pork ribs. I like new ideas when in comes to cooking for dinner.  Firstly, the pork ribs has to be marinated with the marinade ingredients for at least 30 mins or more.  While the ribs are resting with the marinades, prepare the pan fry the glutinous rice and rice with sichuan peppers till golden brown. Use the chopper, blend it coarsely.  Before steaming add to the marinated ribs.  Simple and easy to prepare dish. A new dish to be added to my dinner menu list.  You can try this dish if you are adventurous like me, testing new recipes for the family.
