After talking to my mom last
night, I couldn't help thinking about the rib she made for me when I was
little! We didn't have enough money to have ribs all the time, so every time we
have ribs, it's always exciting.
This receipt came out very
close to my memory. It takes about an hour from preparing to finish, but it is
not difficult at all. Let's get started :)
I made 2lb ribs, if you only want
1lb, feel free to cut the receipt in half. I was lucky to find already cut
ribs, so I don't have to cut myself. I hate cutting bones, they always take so
much arm work.
First you want to boil
the ribs in a hot boiling water, it helps to clean inside the ribs. After
boiling, just rinsing the ribs with running water for few seconds.
Then you want to put in a
flat Sauté pan, fry both sides until golden. In here I used grapeseed
oil, but you can you use any oil of your preference. I highly recommend
using a Sauté Pan because
during the process, you will need to add water, so a deep pan will be very
helpful. And this is the "hard" part in this receipt.
Now, the "hard"
part is done, the rest are easy. You want to clean your Sauté pan, low heat,
then add in your dry seasonings, garlic, and ginger, make sure do NOT add any
oil, just fry for few minutes until you can smell the seasoning. Then,
back to medium heat, add ribs back in, along with cooking wine, dark and light
soy sauce, and rock sugar (or any sugar), cook until everything are well
mixed.
