Honey soy glaze ribs



If you frequently prepare braised pork ribs using herbs and spices like rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and olive oil, consider substituting cilantro roots OR stems and coriander seeds.

Because of how easy it is to prepare and the fact that you don't even need an oven, this honey soy glazed rib is one of my favourite recipes. You only need a little bit of patience, but it will be well worth it.

Honey's sweetness, the flavour of cilantro's roots or stems, and coriander seeds are what make these ribs unique. The seductive flavour of this culinary wonder will reward you.

When you visit a supermarket, you will find two different types of ribs: back ribs and side ribs, often known as spareribs. Back ribs cost more, but they are also tastier and have a greater flavour. They will be more uniform in size if you cut them into separate, individual pieces. Even while spareribs are less expensive, they are also more erratic, thus cutting them into individual ribs won't produce the same attractive results. My back ribs will be sliced into individual pieces. You can just grab a piece with your hands and chew on it; it is so delicious!


INGREDIENTS

1.5 kilogramme of separate ribs from the back

5 roots of cilantro

10 garlic cloves

2 tsp of white peppercorns

 

Marinade

4 tsp toasted coriander seeds

5 tbsp oyster sauce

3 tbsp soy sauce

3 tbsp honey

2 tbsp hot sauce or chilli sauce (optional)

2 tsp dark soy sauce

 




METHODS


1. Use a mortar and pestle to lightly crush the coriander seeds into small pieces. Mix well all the marinade ingredients with the coriander seeds.

2. Put the ribs in a large mixing bowl and cover them with the marinated sauce from (step 1). The ribs should be completely coated in the marinade, and then placed in the refrigerator overnight with plastic wrap over them.

3. Pound white peppercorns, cilantro roots, and garlic into a fine paste with a mortar and pestle. In a wok, add a little vegetable oil and saute until the garlic paste begins to turn golden. Add the ribs all at once and add just enough water to almost cover the ribs, for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the ribs are fork-tender, cover the pot and simmer the food at a LOW temperature (not fall-of-the-bone). Longer cooking time is required if your ribs are meaty. To prevent the ribs from drying out, make sure not to boil them vigorously.

 4. After the ribs have reached the desired level of doneness, take them out from the sauce and keep them warm by covering them in foil while you reduce the sauce. Remove the residue of the sauce and brought to a boil over high heat, and then reduced until it becomes a rich glaze. When the sauce has been reduced, return the ribs, and toss them to evenly distribute the sauce throughout the ribs. ENJOY!!

Sweet Potato Egg Tart

When come to egg tart, everyone might mention about the flaky pastry, filled with a smooth, lightly sweetened egg custard. What about giving it a twist for today? Instead of buttery flaky pastry, we switch to use sweet potatoes, raw oats and glutinous flour to make the tart base. This sweet potato egg tarts are high in fiber and delicious. And it requires no cooking skills. After baking, the oatmeal sweet potato crust is soft with naturally sweet and chewy, paired with smooth egg tart fillings. Oh my god! It smells so good. Every time it’s fresh out of the air fryer, the entire family gathers around, eager to grab a slice. The water content of the tart crust is very important. I am using orange sweet potatoes, which contain a lot of water after steaming. Perhaps yellow and purple sweet potatoes would be easier to shape. You can also use instant oats, which have good water absorption. For this recipe, I use cup cake liner as mold. I baked it with an air fryer to cut down on time...

Fried Taro Puff Dumplings (Woo KOK 芋角)

Taro puff dumplings or Woo Kok ( 芋角 ) are another must-eat snack when you go to a restaurant. The outside is honeycomb-shaped, and the inside is soft and smooth. Even if you go to a restaurant to eat, not every restaurant makes them crispy. And for that reason, I decided to learn how to make this snack. Someone once told me, because of the complicated workmanship, it is difficult to make at home. She advised me not to spend effort on it. If you know me well, I always like to challenge my limits. Today, I will show you how to make them! The fillings of taro dumplings must contain pork, dried shrimps, and mushrooms! The filling can be prepared one day ahead. The dumpling skin is made of taro paste. I am using Areca taro ( 槟榔芋 ). It has a tough, brown exterior with an interior that is white/beige in color with purple flecks. The ideal taro for this recipe will be more mature and starchier. The hardest and most tiresome step of the entire process is frying Woo Kok. A crispy crust w...

Steamed Spareribs With Sand Ginger (沙姜蒸排骨)

Steamed spareribs with sand ginger is a delicious Cantonese dish. The main ingredients are spareribs and sand ginger. Sand ginger, also known as galangal, is a spicy spice that adds a unique flavor to this dish. It is one of four types of galangals, a rhizome in the ginger family. Fresh sand ginger is paler in color on the inside and woodier and coarser in texture than standard ginger. As a result, it is more difficult to peel and grate.  So, I just cleaned it with a tiny brush and chopped it with the skin. Fresh sand ginger might not be available at other places, so they will powder form instead. When dried, the flavor becomes a little less intense. I love how the fresh sand ginger tastes when combined with other spices or ingredients to create the sauce for meat. Apart from the ribs, I also add glass noodles and yuba or dried tofu skin. The ribs, glass noodles and dried tofu skin absorb all the sauce, enhanced by the flavor of sand ginger and oyster sauce. You can use san...
