For $5, I got briny slabs of ribs bathing in an oily broth. What little meat I could muster was tender, but fatty. The taste of black beans was palpably absent – unsurprising, since the ground beans were used only as a garnish. It’s a real pity because this dish lacks pungency and spiciness, which, really, is the essence of the attraction behind steamed pork ribs.
