Marinating the Ribs
Wash the ribs, drain them, and pat them dry with kitchen paper. Place them in a deep 20 cm dish, add the seasonings, and mix until evenly coated. Marinate for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb.

Preparing the Sauce
Place the oil and minced garlic in a small bowl and heat on high for 1 minute. Add the ground fermented bean paste and sugar, stir well, seal the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and heat on high for another 30 seconds.

Combining the Ingredients
Add the plums, seasoning sauce, and shredded ginger to the ribs in the deep dish and mix well. Arrange the ribs around the edge of the dish, leaving an open space in the center, then seal tightly with plastic wrap.

Microwave Cooking
Microwave the ribs on high for 2 minutes. Uncover the dish, turn the ribs over, add the red chili pepper, and mix. Cover again and microwave on high for another 2 minutes.

Final Plating
Sprinkle with the chopped scallions and let stand for 3 minutes before serving.
