Braised Pork Rib with Bean Curd Stick and Fermented Red Bean Curd
Hello everybody
Today I am going to share with you "Braised Pork Rib with Bean Curd Stick and Fermented Red Bean Curd"
Pork ribs 700 grams
100 grams dried bean curd sticks
The package of dried bean curd sticks weighs 200 g
I will use half of it
Moderate amount of fermented red bean curds
One piece is enough if the fermented red bean curd is big size
Use 2 ~ 3 pieces if they are small size
This is depending on the quantity of the ingredients
And the salinity of the fermented red bean curds
As well as ginger, garlic cloves and shallot
Add in a little salt in water for soaking of pork ribs for 30 minutes to remove blood
Please refer my previous video
If not have time to soak the ribs, sprinkle some flour
Or cornstarch
Rub the ribs for a while
And then wash completely
Drain the pork ribs after washing
Prepare the fermented bean curd sauce
Add in 1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
Just a slip of the tongue about this fermented red bean curds
Fry the pork ribs
Flip when golden colour on one side
Add in shallot
Ginger slices
Garlic cloves
Fry the other side to light brown
Set the pork ribs aside
Sauté the fermented red bean curd sauce
Sprinkle 1 tbsp. of Shaoxing wine after the fermented red bean curd sauce is sautéed
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
Add in 2 bay leaves
1 star anise
It doesn't matter if none of these in hand
2 small pieces of rock sugar
Pour in hot water
Till the pork ribs are covered
Do not add in salt at this moment
Because the fermented red bean curds have salty taste
Add in salt only after the pork ribs are cooked and tasted of not enough salty
Braise 45 minutes at low heat
Soak the dried bean curd sticks to soft
These dried bean curd sticks are not fried
I do not like to buy fried bean curd sticks
I am afraid of the oil used is not healthy
Actually fried bean curd sticks are an alternative
Soak these bean curd sticks about 30 minutes
Soak them to soft
The pork ribs have braised for 45 minutes
Remove the spices
Add in the soaked bean curd sticks
No need to braise the bean curd sticks too long
Braise for about 10 minutes
The bean curd sticks have braised for 5 minutes
The sauce looks a little bit more
I remove the lid to evaporate the sauce
The bean curd sticks have braised for about 10 minutes now
The sauce is almost thickened
Let us taste it now
This dish cannot be too salty
Because the bean curd sticks absorb most of the tastes
Add in a bit of salt or light soy sauce if not enough salty
Chop some spring onions if in hand
Add in the chopped spring onions after the sauce has thickened
Stir well to serve
Delicious
I miss Hong Kong food very much
This time no additional salt or light soy sauce is used
Because it is of good salty taste
