THIS IS PROBABLY MY FAVOURITE COMFORT FOOD!!! I've loved spare ribs growing up, especially the Cantonese style marinated with black bean sauce. It remains a happy childhood memory and living in Wuhan, I miss it very much. That was why during my most recent trip to my hometown, Guangzhou, I wanted to find that familiar taste once again. One evening, while looking for a place to have dinner, my husband and I stumbled into a random place and without much hesitation, I ordered the black bean spare ribs on rice. Already it looked promising, as the "correct" version that I wanted had ribs that were lighter in colour, which is the authentic Cantonese way of making it. One taste revealed that in fact this was AMAZING and tasted just like the one I used to have when I was a kid. The sauce - so damn goooooooooooood. I could only complain that the portion size was too small and I could have devoured another set. Take me back to Guangzhou!!!
