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!!

Salted Egg Yolks Fried Wings

  There are some leftover salted egg yolks after the Dragon Boat Festival. Salted egg yolk fried wings straight pop into my mind. Egg yolk chicken wings are really flavoring explosions, highly praised for its unique flavor, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and tempting with their salty and fragrant taste. Other than the flavor that driving everyone’s insane. The key to this dish is to double fry the chicken wings until they are golden and crispy before coating them with a rich sauce of salted egg yolk and season them to make every bite full of rich taste and irresistible flavor. Since the fried chicken is mixed with salted egg yolks and melted butter, I must admit that this is a really greasy dish.   Eat this sparingly, then. I cut and divide my wings into mid wings and drummets. And I am going to give a shallow cut on them for better penetration during the marinating. Just oyster sauce, soy sauce and white pepper make up the basic marinade for the chicke...

Nyonya Sticky Rice Dumplings

This is my version of Nyonya Zongzi. The taste is very different from salty meat Zongzi. When the first time I taste it, it is incredibly tasty, it’s slightly spicy but not too sweet. It has a strong spice flavor due to the fact that of using whole coriander and white peppercorns which were toasted and grinded into powder form. The biggest difference between the regular Zongzi and Nyonya Zongzi is in the filling -- one’s savory while the other's sweet. The regular salty Zongzi normally includes pork belly in a big piece, mushrooms, dried shrimp, chestnuts and salted duck eggs. And include a lit bit of five spice powder for some fragrance. The Nyonya Zongzi includes braised minced pork, dried shrimps, candied winter melon, and the strong spice from the whole grinded coriander seeds and white peppercorns is the key to the greatest flavor. And it comes with a blend of sweet and savory, with aromatic spice notes and a hint of sweetness. The blue and off-white appearance with a ...

Steamed Chicken With Cordyceps Flowers and Shitake Mushrooms (虫草花香菇蒸鸡)

Steam chicken is the easiest way of cooking with health benefits, and delicious flavor. Just simply marinate the bite sized pieces of chicken for minutes to obtain a basic flavor then steam for 20 to 25 minutes. That’s so simple. My husband loves steam food. This is due to the fact that steaming food is nutrient preservation, calorie and fat reduction. Additionally, it keeps the natural flavor to the maximum. Normally, I will add mushrooms, lily blossoms and black fungus for additional texture. For this recipe, I replace the lily blossoms with cordyceps flowers. It is a type of orange-yellow grass and it’s good for nourishing the lungs and kidneys, protecting the liver, nourishing skin and beauty, and improving immunity. It is extremely delicious when used to make soup or steam dishes! You don’t have to add water to the chicken, the marinade, chicken, and mushrooms release a broth-like mix of fluids that tastes amazing over rice. Are you drooling? This is an easy and delicious ...
