Categories     Main

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 slab (1.8 kg / 4 lbs) pork ribs (, halved crosswise and cut into one-bone sections (*Footnote 1))
2 " (5 cm) ginger (, sliced)
20 g (1 oz) onion (, halved lengthwise)
1 whole nutmeg ((or 1 teaspoon nutmeg powder))
2 star anise pods
5 cloves
1/4 cup Shaoxing wine ((or dry sherry))
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 pieces red fermented bean curd ((Optional))
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 red potatoes (, chopped (or waxy potatoes))
3 carrots (, chopped)
1/2 lb (230 g) green beans

Steps:

  • Add pork ribs to a large pot and add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, then turn to medium heat. Boil for 5 minutes while skimming the foam off the top with a spoon.
  • Add the ginger, green onion, nutmeg, star anise, cloves, and cooking wine. Turn to low heat. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Add the red fermented bean curd into a small bowl and add a few spoonfuls of hot broth from the pot. Smash with the back of a spoon until the bean curd dissolves. Pour back into the pot. Simmer uncovered for another 40 to 50 minutes, until pork turns tender but is not quite falling of the bone.
  • (Optional) Add the vegetables. Continue simmering for 15 minutes, until the vegetables turn tender.
  • Add cornstarch and 1/3 cup water into a small bowl. Whisk well until the cornstarch dissolves completely. Slowly add half of the slurry into the pot. Stir to mix well. Add more slurry and stir if you want to thicken the sauce more. Note, you might not need to add all the cornstarch slurry. (*Footnote 2)
  • Serve pork ribs with steamed white rice or noodles. Enjoy!
  • Store the pork ribs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

2 racks St. Louis Style/Country Style pork ribs (12 ribs each)
4 tablespoons canola oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup soy sauce
4 cups water
2 to 3-inch piece ginger, skin on and sliced

Steps:

  • Combine the vinegar and brown sugar in a small saucepan over high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved and mixture reduces slightly, about 5 minutes.

OVEN BRAISED BARBECUE PORK RIBS



Oven Braised Barbecue Pork Ribs image

This is a method I got from FoodNetwork's Alton Brown, and it's foolproof. I've tweaked the ingredients many times, in many ways, but it's always turned out great. This is my favorite variation, and the only way I make barbecued country ribs.

Provided by Vina7737

Categories     Meat

Time 3h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs country-style pork ribs
3/4 cup tomato ketchup
3/4 cup beer
1/2 cup real maple syrup (dark grade B is best.)
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon louisiana style hot sauce, plus more to season
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 sheets heavy duty weight aluminum foil (18x36 inch)

Steps:

  • Fold each sheet of foil in half lengthwise.
  • You now have two double thick sheets measuring 18x18 inches.
  • Stack them on top of each other, folded sides on top, and triple fold the three cut edge sides together, crimping firmly, leaving the folded edge side open.
  • You now have a double thickness foil bag.
  • Put the foil bag on a large baking sheet with sides (in case of leaks) and fill with the ribs, being careful not to puncture the bag if the ribs are 'bone-in'.
  • Mix together the ketchup, beer, syrup, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, and hot sauce.
  • Pour into the bag with the ribs.
  • Triple fold and firmly crimp the top folded edges of the foil.
  • Put the bag, still on the baking sheet, into a 300 degree oven for 3 hours.
  • Remove from the oven, cut a corner of the foil bag, and drain the liquid contents into a sauce pan.
  • Crimp the cut edge and set the ribs aside, still sealed in the foil.
  • Bring the liquids to a boil and reduce to a glaze-like consistency (like b-b-que sauce).
  • While the sauce is reducing, preheat your oven broiler.
  • Place the ribs on a oil-sprayed broiler pan, being careful to keep as whole as possible, as they will be very tender.
  • Taste the sauce and add more hot sauce if you want more spiciness.
  • Brush the ribs generously with the sauce and broil close to the heat until the sauce starts to bubble and caramelize (about 1-2 mins.).
  • Turn the ribs, and repeat.
  • If you want a thicker coating, do this brush-and-broil process one more time per side.
  • (I usually do.) Serve with any extra sauce to pour over.
  • NOTE: If you don't have or can't find the dark maple syrup, dark corn syrup is a good substitute.

Brined and Braised Pork Belly and Ribs image

Provided by Gabrielle Hamilton

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 3h

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/3 cup sugar
1 1/3 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup black peppercorns
1/2 cup allspice berries
4 pounds pork belly, with ribs
1 rack pork ribs
4 to 5 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 pinches kosher salt
1 1/4 pounds red turnips, cut into half-moons
1 pound Tuscan kale, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large container combine the sugar, salt, black peppercorns, allspice berries and 2 gallons water. Add the belly and ribs. Refrigerate 24 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Remove the pork from the brine. Reserve spices. Cut the ribs from the pork belly and each rib from the rib rack. Remove sinew.
  • Place ribs and spices in a large roasting pan. Set the belly, skin side up, on top. Pour enough broth to half cover the pork. Cover the pan with parchment and foil. Braise until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees, about 2 hours. Let cool completely. Cut into 2- to 3-inch squares.
  • When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Put belly squares and ribs on a baking pan. In a small saucepan heat butter, brown sugar, 1 cup braising liquid and kosher salt. Pour the sauce over the pork and heat in the oven, basting regularly, until warmed through, 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a sauté pan bring 1 cups of the braising liquid to a boil. Add the turnips and kale and braise, uncovered, until just tender. Season with salt and pepper. Onto each of 8 plates, place a rib, pork belly and some vegetables and top with a few spoonfuls of the brown-sugar sauce.

Tips for Perfect Ribs:

  • Select high-quality pork ribs: Look for ribs with good marbling and a nice pink color. Avoid ribs that are too fatty or have a lot of dark spots.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim off any excess fat. Cut the ribs into individual pieces, if desired.
  • Season the ribs generously: Use a rub or marinade to flavor the ribs. You can use a simple rub made with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or you can experiment with more complex flavors. Be sure to let the ribs marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: The best way to cook ribs is to braise them or grill them over low heat. This will help the ribs to become tender and fall off the bone. If you are braising the ribs, cook them for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender. If you are grilling the ribs, cook them over low heat for 1-2 hours, or until the meat is tender and slightly charred.
  • Glaze the ribs: Once the ribs are cooked, you can glaze them with a sweet or savory sauce. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the ribs. You can use a simple glaze made with honey, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar, or you can experiment with more complex flavors. Be sure to let the glaze set for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Pork ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are braising them, grilling them, or broiling them, there are a few simple tips that you can follow to ensure that your ribs turn out perfect every time. With a little planning and effort, you can make restaurant-quality ribs at home that your family and friends will love.
