Braised Kimchi, Radish and Pork Ribs (Instant Pot + Stove Top)

When it comes to making this dish, either store-bought or homemade Kimchi can be used. Don't skip the step of blanching the pork ribs. The soup will be clearer.

Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 25 mins + building up pressure time
Yield: 2 to 3 serves

Ingredients:
  • 390 gm pork ribs
  • 3 to 4 slices ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp shaoxing wine
  • 660 gm radish, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup salt-reduced chicken stock
  • 2 tsp oyster sauce
  • 130 gm kimchi
  • 1 spring onion, chopped for garnish
Marinade:
  • 2 tsp light soy sauce
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • pepper, to taste
  • sesame oil, to taste
Instant Pot method:
  1. In a wok or pot, put in pork ribs with enough tap water to cover. Turn on the stove heat to high to remove the blood. Cook until impurities and foam appear on water surface. Drain up the ribs. Rinse and drain well. Mix with the marinade. Set aside.
  2. Prepare your Instant Pot. Press the “Saute” (medium) to heat oil. Add the pork ribs and cook until all sides are lightly brown. Stir in the ginger and garlic. Add the wine, followed by the radish. Combine well. Pour in the chicken stock. Cover the lid. Turn the pressure handle to “sealing” position. Press “meat/stew” button and cook for 20 minutes. Run quick release. When the valve drops, remove the lid. Season with the oyster sauce. Stir in the Kimchi. Sprinkle spring onion for garnish. Serve immediately.

Stove top method (Use the same amount of all ingredients except add 1½ cup of chicken stock instead.) :
  1. Put pork ribs with cold tap water in a wok. Turn on the stove heat to high to remove the blood. Cook until impurities and foam appear on water surface. Drain up the ribs. Rinse and drain well. Mix with the marinade. Set aside.
  2. Use a large pot. Heat oil over medium-high heat. Saute the pork ribs until all sides are lightly brown. Stir in the ginger and garlic. Add wine. Pour in 1½ cup of chicken stock. When it boils, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until the pork ribs are softened. Increase heat to medium-high. Add in the radish. When it boils again, reduce to medium. Cook for another 20 minutes, or until the radish is tender. Replenish boiling water if needed. Stir in the oyster sauce and Kimchi. Garnish with spring onion. Serve immediately.
