The story of braised pork ribs cooked in an electric pressure cooker is probably hidden in the gaps of countless busy lives. In the past, making braised pork ribs required standing in front of the stove watching the heat, worrying about burning the sugar when caramelizing it, and being afraid of the meat becoming tough when stewing it. Novices were often flustered and overwhelmed. But the advent of the electric pressure cooker has added a "shortcut to life" for this dish. No need to watch the pot! Just put in all the marinated pork ribs and seasonings, press the button, and go about your business! When the beep sounds, open the lid and the ribs are tender and fall off the bone. The rich sauce makes even rice soaked in the broth so delicious that you'll want to eat an extra bowl.
Materials
Super simple electric pressure cooker recipe for braised pork ribs: steps
Step 1. Wash the pork ribs two to three times with water until they turn white, then let them air dry.
Step 2. Add a few slices of ginger, chopped scallions, a pinch of salt, a pinch of rock sugar, and a little light soy sauce.
Step 3. I added this much salt; you can adjust the amount according to your own taste.
Step 4. Add cooking wine to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor.
Step 5. Mix well and marinate for about 20 minutes.
Step 6. Add two dried chilies and two star anise.
Step 7. I used a Joyoung electric pressure cooker. Use the stewing function, not the boneless meat function, because the meat won't taste good after being deboned and won't be chewy.
The final step: After taking it out of the pan, sprinkle with white sesame seeds and chopped scallions. At this point, I'll add: it's incredibly delicious with rice.
