These black bean sauce spareribs go great with rice.
Tips
usage
Almost never appears alone — you'll see 豆豉 (dòuchǐ, fermented black beans) in recipes or 豉汁 (chǐzhī, black bean sauce) on Cantonese menus. Reading 豉 as chǐ (not shì or another guess) is the key thing to remember.
mistakes
The pinyin is chǐ (3rd tone), not shì. Easy to misread because the right side 支 looks like a phonetic clue but it isn't.
