Delicious Braised Pork Ribs

written by Emma Tang

Simple Braised Pork RibsThis Chinese braised pork ribs dish is a classic traditional Chinese dish almost every Chinese family knows how to cook and loves. It’s a must-have for major holidays such as Spring Festival (a.k.a. Chinese New Year).

To make sure the pork ribs are tender and juicy, there are two tips that are particularly helpful.

Pork Ribs1) At the beginning, immerse the pork ribs in cold water and then bring it to boil to let the blood contained in the pork ribs to slowly come out.

Author: Spice the Plate
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 1 pound short pork ribs
  • 2 stalks green onion, cut into 2-inch long strips
  • 3-4 slices of ginger
  • 3 cloves of garlic, slice in half
  • 2 star anises
  • a handgul of cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons cooking wine
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
  1. Add the pork ribs into the pan together with about 2 cups of cold water, and bring it to boil over medium-high heat (takes about 5 minutes for me), boil for about 1-2 minutes until the pork is no longer pink, discard the water in the pan and rinse the pork ribs under running cold water for about 30 seconds, drain well and set aside.
  2. Whisk the soy sauce, dark soy sauce and cooking wine in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. Heat oil in the dry deep fry pan over medium-high heat, toss in the ginger, garlic, green onion and star anise, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the pork ribs and stir fry for about 5 minutes until browned on both sides.
  5. Add the sauce prepared in step 4 into the pan, stir to make sure the pork ribs are evenly coated with the sauce.
  6. Pour in the hot water and turn to medium-low heat and simmer for about 7 minutes with lid off until there is only ¼ sauce left in the pan.
  7. Toss in the salt and sugar and gently stir, turn to medium heat and keep simmering for another 3 minutes until the sauce is thickened.
  8. Top with green onion to serve and enjoy!
Notes
The hot water helps to maintain the tenderness of the pork and shorten the cooking time.
