Spare Rib King or Pai Gu Wang (排骨王)

Spare Rib King or Pai Gu Wang (排骨王) are popular among the public. This dish will always show on the menu whenever you look at the menu. That’s definitely due to its unique taste and flavor.

I still remember the first time I have this Pai Gu Wang in a restaurant, I thought to myself like why it is called Pai Gu Wang where there are actually no ribs in it. In fact, pork tenderloin is always used for making this dish. This meat is taken from the sides of the large ribs of the pig, and the bones are removed when it is sold, so that’s how the name of this dish is created.

Anyway, boneless design makes it very convenient to eat pork ribs. You don't need to spit out the bones, you can enjoy it directly. It is especially suitable for people who are not good at spitting out bones or don't like spitting out bones.

Tenderloin contains tendons, it is difficult to chew. Therefore, the meat must be loosened before cooking to break the tendons inside. This will make it taste better and more flavorful when eaten. This is something everyone must pay attention to.

Braised pork belly with radish

My daughter once enquired about the fastest, easiest, and tastiest way to prepare braised pork. The fewer dishes that need to be washed, the better. She needed a recipe with braised pork that could be made by simply combining all the ingredients in a pot and letting them simmer. When I give it some thought, I realize that she would enjoy this braised port belly with radish. Because of the ginger, garlic, dried chilli, and star anise, this meal has a lot of flavours. I like to use a lot of ginger to flavour the pork. Due to the lengthy cooking process, the ginger that has been simmered is excellent. As the meat cooked slowly over low heat. The smell of meat permeated the kitchen and was very alluring. When the meat is done being braised! Goodness!! It has me completely drooling. Pick up a piece of meat with a pair of chopsticks and take a bite. Fat but not greasy. It melts in your mouth and leaves a lingering flavour. After being cooked, the radish in particular tastes amazing....
