Technique · Step 5: Pour the oil while it is hot enough to sizzle on the garlic and beans. That is what releases their fragrance; lukewarm oil just coats them.
Technique · Step 8: Keep the ribs in a single layer so steam reaches every piece and they all finish in the same 12 minutes.
Equipment · Step 8: No steaming rack? Stand the plate on a small heatproof bowl or three balls of foil in the water so it sits clear of the surface.
