Gather your ingredients
To make authentic Chinese braised pork ribs, you will need:
– 2 pounds of pork ribs
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup oyster sauce
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1/4 cup Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)
– 2 tablespoons ginger, minced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 star anise
– 1 cinnamon stick
Prepare the ribs
Start by cutting the pork ribs into individual pieces, making sure to remove any excess fat. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the ribs for a few minutes to remove any impurities. Drain the ribs and set aside.
Braise the ribs
In a separate pot or large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, and cook until fragrant. Add the blanched pork ribs and sear them on all sides until they are browned.
Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, rice wine, star anise, and cinnamon stick to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Add enough water to cover the ribs, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Simmer and enjoy
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow the pork ribs to simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the ribs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened, remove the pot from the heat. Serve the braised pork ribs hot, garnished with some chopped green onions for an extra burst of flavor.
Now, sit back and enjoy the savory and succulent taste of authentic Chinese braised pork ribs, all thanks to your own culinary skills. Your family and friends will be sure to be impressed with your ability to recreate this classic dish right in your very own kitchen.
