Riblets in Black Bean Sauce is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Multicooker Monday. We join forces  on the third Monday of the month and share our favorite  recipes using small appliances.

This month I am  sharing an instant pot recipe for Chinese pork  riblets in black bean sauce.

The riblets are brothy  and full of umami, which makes them perfect to serve over rice. You can also serve these in a bowl as an appetizer to eat with your fingers.

I used riblets that are  precut. You can certainly use pork spare ribs or baby  back ribs and add those to the cooker.

Perfect sides for this recipe, besides rice, would be steamed or stir-fried  vegetables. Or perhaps noodles.

  1. I have a bottle of unopened black bean sauce, this is a wonderful recipe, will try this soon.

    • Don’t use the canned sauce in this. The recipe calls for fermented black beans (or salted) which come in bags and are called Douchi (豆豉) in Mandarin.
