Braised pork ribs

1 . It is best to remove the bones of the pure lean pork chops, soak them in light salt water for ten minutes, pick them up and rinse off the blood. Place on a chopping board and cut into slices about 1cm thick, the size of your palm.

2. Use the back of a knife to loosen each piece of pork chops (this step is very important!)

Here is a common method (without flour coating)

3. Take water starch, mix it into a paste, and apply a thin layer on the pork chops. Heat up a pan with oil until it is 30% hot, add the pork chops and fry over low heat until the surface turns light yellow, remove from the pan and drain the oil.

4 . Heat a small pan with oil, add the chopped garlic and scallions, stir-fry until fragrant, add the pork ribs, rice wine, red soy sauce, and sugar to cover the ribs (do not add water, if there is not enough juice, add rice wine. The amount of soy sauce should be based on the saltiness), simmer over low heat until the juice is almost dry (do not lift the lid in the middle). Pour the remaining water starch into the dish to thicken, then simmer for another five minutes and it’s ready to serve.
