Spicy Pork Ribs

You can either use a heavy-bottomed pot or a slow cooker to make this dish. As the power of every stove is very different, please adjust the cooking time accordingly. If you find the sauce starting to dry up before the pork dry turns soft, you can add some boiling water and continue to cook until it’s done.

Prep time：10 mins
Cook time：45 mins
Yield：2 to 3 serves

Ingredients:

• 430 gm American ribs
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 3 to 4 slices ginger
• coriander, for garnish

Sauce：

• 700 ml water
• 1 Tbsp chilli bean sauce
• 1 Tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 3 tsp raw sugar
• 2 tsp light soy sauce
• ½ tsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tsp Zhen Jiang vinegar

Method:

1. Cut pork ribs into 7.5-cm / 3-inch long chunks. Blanch them in hot water to remove any blood or impurities. Drain well. Set aside.
2. Use a thick-bottomed pot to heat a little of oil over medium high heat. Saute ginger and garlic until fragrant. Be sure not to burn the garlic. Add pork ribs and cook until both sides are lightly brown. Pour the sauce over the pork ribs. Cook with cover and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the pork ribs are softened and the sauce is thickened, about 3 hours. Occasionally stir pork ribs and get them cooked evenly. Serve hot and garnish with coriander.
