Home-Style Braised Pork Ribs
家常紅燒排骨
Braised pork ribs is a classic Chinese home-cooked dish known for its rich savory-sweet flavor and melt-in-your-mouth tender meat. The ribs are first browned, then simmered with soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, and spices into an aromatic, glossy, flavorful sauce that coats the meat perfectly. This comforting dish pairs amazingly with a bowl of white rice, making it a favorite for family dinners or gatherings with friends. Simple to make yet packed with flavor, it is the ultimate choice when you want an authentic home-cooked meal on the table.

Steps

Add cold water and the pork ribs to a pot, ensuring the water covers the ribs. Turn on the heat and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, turn off the heat, remove the ribs, rinse them clean with fresh water, and set aside.

Heat oil in a pan, then stir-fry the ribs over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the prepared aromatics and stir-fry for another 2 minutes, then add 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 to 2 tbsp dark soy sauce, 3 tbsp cooking rice wine, 1 tbsp white sugar, and a dash of vinegar.

Add enough hot water to cover the ribs. (If you have sensitive teeth, switch to a clay pot and simmer over low heat.) Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Season with salt, stir well, and simmer over low heat for another 25 minutes, making sure the sauce doesn't boil dry.
