Hello everyone
Today I am going to cook a "Braised Sweet and Sour Pork Rib"
The pork ribs are cheaper to buy in UK
£ 4.2 for 700 grams
Used this malt vinegar
About 3 tablespoons
It tastes better than those generally bought in Hong Kong supermarkets
I use this white sugar
About 2 tablespoons
Because the epidemic situation is very serious at current
I have not gone to the Chinese supermarkets yet
To buy Rock sugar
It tastes better if you use rock sugar
The best ratio for sugar and vinegar is one to one
But I do not want to use too much sugar
I would taste it after cooking to check sweetness
Add a little bit more sugar if not enough
Sprinkle with a little flour
Cornstarch or tapioca starch can do
Rub the pork ribs
Refer my previous video "Tricks To Delicious Steamed Pork Ribs - 3 Ways of Washing Pork Ribs" shows ways to wash the ribs"
Or use a method you feel the best to wash the ribs
Drain the ribs
Fry the pork ribs first
Flip the ribs after one side is fried to golden
Add in shallots after ribs are flipped to the other side
Ginger slices
Smashed garlic cloves
Bay leaf should be added later
It drops in together with garlic cloves expectedly
Pour in 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine after golden colour are on both sides
3 tablespoons of vinegar
2 tablespoons of sugar
Can also put equal parts of sugar to equal parts of vinegar
Later I will taste if sweetness is enough before adding more sugar
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
I put a bit of
Cinnamon
And a bay leaf
Added in earlier
Star anise is also preferred to add in 1 if you have in hand
Add in chili flakes if prefer spicy
Pour in hot water
Till covers the ribs
Braise for 45 minutes on low heat with lid on
Spring onions is cut and will be added in later
It has braised for 45 minutes
Turn to higher heat to thicken up the sauce
Scoop the spices out
Take away ginger slices also if not eating
Let me taste it
The salty taste seems not enough
Add in a bit of salt
Thickening is almost done
Add in cut spring onions
