TANGCU PAIGU (CHINESE SWEET AND SOUR PORK RIBS)



Tangcu Paigu (Chinese Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs) image

On our very first night in Kunming, December 2000, our colleagues took us out for dinner at the Baiyun Canting on Jinhuapu Road. The tangcu paigu we had that night (and on many subsequent occasions) were incredible. I don't know the Baiyun secret, but now that Baiyun is gone, I'm making my peace with this tasty version, developed with the help of Bruce Cost's "Asian Ingredients" and "Pei Mei's Chinese Cookbook".

Time 1h

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 lbs pork baby back ribs, cut into one-inch segments (get this done at the meat counter)
1/2 tablespoon shaoxing rice wine (optional)
5 tablespoons soy sauce
3 green onions, shredded (optional)
4 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons chinese black vinegar (or substitute balsamic vinegar)
2 teaspoons cornstarch, mixed with 3 T cold water (optional)
1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
peanut oil, for deep-frying

Steps:

  • Separate the ribs if the butcher hasn't already done so. They should be roughly bite-size.
  • Marinate ribs with wine and soy sauce for 30 minutes.
  • Remove ribs from marinade, reserving marinade for later.
  • Heat peanut oil (about 6 cups) in wok until it's almost smoking.
  • Deep fry ribs for 2 minutes, remove from oil with slotted spoon, reheat oil, and fry for another 1/2 minute until brown. (This is Pei Mei's method. Bruce Cost recommends deep-frying for 5-8 minutes.) Remove ribs from oil.
  • Pour oil out of wok into a heatproof bowl (stainless steel or glass). (Once it's cool, you can strain it into glass jar for next time).
  • To soy sauce marinade, add sugar, vinegar, corn starch mixture, sesame oil, and green onion to make sweet-sour sauce.
  • Heat one tablespoon of oil in the wok, pour in the sweet-sour sauce, and boil and stir until thickened.
  • Throw ribs into the wok with the sauce, and stir to coat thoroughly.
  • Serve on a platter, hot or at room temperature.
  • As the sole meat dish, this is enough for 2-3 people, but as part of a full meal with a variety of dishes, it serves up to 8 or 10.

Tips:

  • To make the best sweet and sour pork ribs, start with high-quality ingredients. Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Be sure to trim the ribs of any excess fat before cooking. This will help to reduce the amount of grease in the dish.
  • When making the marinade, use a combination of sweet and sour ingredients. This will give the ribs a complex flavor.
  • Be sure to marinate the ribs for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • When cooking the ribs, be sure to cook them slowly and over low heat. This will help to tenderize the meat and prevent it from drying out.
  • If you are using a grill, be sure to baste the ribs with the marinade or sauce regularly. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the sweet and sour pork ribs with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour pork ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your ribs turn out perfect every time.
