Waxed pork ribs are generally most abundant in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou! You can find these ribs in specialty markets in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan, Chongqing and Guizhou! But now the market situation, it is difficult to buy real farmhouse smoked ribs!
Most of the preserved ribs on the market are salted with salt, soy sauce, nitrate, pepper and spices, and then smoked with thick smoke for about 3-7 days. The surface color of such ribs is exactly the same as that of real preserved ribs, but the aroma after cooking is vastly different.

The practice is actually very simple, wax ribs soaked and cleaned, blanched two to three times! Remove the excess salt in the ribs, and then add ginger and scallions, dried peppercorns, dried chili pepper knots, as well as yellow wine, together into the steamer, steaming until the ribs are fully cooked.
After the ribs are cooked, pick up the excess ginger, scallions, and peppercorns and discard them. Serve with a pepper salt or chili powder jiao dish.
