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!!

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...

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 ...
