Braised Pork Ribs with Plum Sauce



I remember eating "sour plum Huamei braised pork ribs" once while out to dinner with friends.

Many of us enjoy eating huamei, which is a snack made of dried salty plums. It is prepared by combining a few components and dehydrating plums. It is sweet and sour, and very appetizing. My favourite way to make lemonade or calamansi juice is to add two dried plums: it's a cool drink for a hot day. Have you ever attempted to prepare food using dried salty plums or "Huawei"?

My pork ribs are braised with sour plum sauce in addition to the dehydrated plums. In comparison to sweet and sour pork ribs, it is also sweet and sour, but braised pork ribs with sour plum sauce and dehydrated plum have a distinctive aroma of green plums, so you won’t feel tired after eating too much.

This dish's preparation is basic, and the ingredients are likewise straightforward. All that is necessary is to pick out common plums with the natural flavour, soak them in water, fry blanched pork ribs with caramelized sugar, add the plums and plum sauce, stew, and cook.

Because plums can increase the flavour and tenderness of the ribs, the plum braised ribs are a vibrant red colour. The ribs smell like plums and are wonderful, appealing, and non-greasy. They are also slightly sweet and sour. It must not be missed by anyone.


INGREDIENTS

800g pork ribs

2 tbsp cooking oil

1 tbsp rock sugar or granulated sugar

5 pcs dried salted plum

6 pcs kaffir lime leaves, shredded

1 tbsp minced garlic

5 pcs THAI chillies, cut into small pieces

3 tbsp plum sauce

3 tbsp tomato sauce

1 tbsp THAI chilli sauce

2 tsp soy sauce

1 tbsp sugar

200 ml water

FOR BLANCHING

20g sliced ginger

1 stalk of spring onion

1 tbsp of Shaoxing wine

 






METHOD

1) Pour water into the wok and add the cut ribs into it together with the rest of the blanching ingredients. Cook slowly over medium heat to get rid of impurities.  When the water boils and the pork is blanched. Removed it from the pot.

2. Over low heat, add the oil and rock sugar to the wok. Melt the sugar slightly and add the pork ribs. Removed it.  Raise the heat to medium and cook until the pork is lightly browned.

3. Combine all the sauce, sugar, and water in a bowl.

4. Heat some cooking oil in a wok, and saute the minced garlic until fragrant. Turn the heat back down to low and add in all the sauce (step 3), bring the sauce to a boil, and add in the dried salted plum, THAI chillies and pork ribs. Water should be enough to cover all the ingredients, add more water when needed.

4) Cover with lid and simmer over low heat for about 30 - 45 minutes or until the ribs are fork tender. Stirring occasionally.

5) Taste the sauce for seasonings and adjust, if necessary.  This does not need any cornstarch slurry; the plum sauce will give the marinade and sauce a shiny sheen.  If there is still a lot of visible liquid, uncover the wok, turn up the heat, and stir continuously until the sauce has reduced to a glistening coating. Serve with steamed rice and ENJOY!!

Hope you find this guide useful and enjoy these simple Plum sauce braised pork ribs to the fullest!!

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉）

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉） – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...

Canned braised pork belly (罐头扣肉）

  A must-have dish for the Lunar New Year is steamed braised pork ( 扣肉 ). Some people enjoy making braised pork with yam, while others prefer to use preserved veggies. The key to making braised pork is to boil the meat first, then deep-fry it, and finally steam it. The sauces are the key to enhancing the flavour of the braised pork with either yam or preserved veggies. Of course, choosing pork that is half-fat and lean pork belly tastes the best is also crucial.   You can choose how thinly you want the pork slices. I sliced my pork to a thinness of 10 to 15 mm thinness.  Another crucial tip is to just use wine and no water when preparing the braised pork. I'm using Shaoxing wine, and it's been proven that the more wine you use, the tastier and more fragrant the meat will be and that the meat will remain fragrant after stewing. As I mentioned, this braised pork needs to boil first, then be deep-fried.  For those who find frying meat is very troublesome , you can w...

Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert (白果腐竹薏米糖水)

Do you miss this delicacy of Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert? When did you most recently enjoy or make it? Ginkgo, commonly known as ginkgo. It is very popular when used to cook bean curd sheets. I went to a dessert house two days ago. The waitress was serving this dessert to a young lady who was sitting next to me. I overheard that lady comment about that dessert is different from other dessert houses. So, I give it a go. I am not sure how it was different from other dessert houses. But it is different from what I had before. It is creamy, smooth, and rich in flavour. So, I am going to copycat this, and my family loves it so much. Especially youngsters who do not like any small chunks to chew on with liquid dessert. This dessert can be cooked on the stove or pressure cooker. There's a catch, though: Yuba sheets or bean curd sheet, also known as Fu Chuk, come in a variety of forms.   If you opt for making this dessert over a stove, need to choose the kind that disso...
