In a large mixing bowl, combine the sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, fermented black bean paste, Shaoxing wine, dark soy sauce, and agave nectar (or honey) to make the marinade.
Add the spareribs to the marinade and mix well to coat.
Let the ribs marinate for up to 30 minutes to 4 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat the air fryer to 190°C (375°F).
Remove the ribs from the marinade and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry at 190°C (375°F) for 8 minutes.
Check the internal temperature of the ribs with a meat thermometer to ensure they have reached 74°C (165°F) before serving.
