  • 500g taro, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 slices of ginger
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Place the pork ribs in a large bowl and add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, salt, and white pepper. Mix well and let marinate for 15 minutes.
