DIRECTIONS
Place the pork ribs in a pot of cold water, add some ginger, green onions, and a tablespoon of cooking wine.
Skim off any blood foam, and simmer for 3 minutes.
Remove the ribs and drain off excess water.
Heat a little oil in the pot, then add a few small pieces of rock sugar.
Tips:
If you're not comfortable making caramel, you can skip this step. Omitting the rock sugar is also an option.
Cook over low heat until the ribs turn a deep red color.
Add the ribs and quickly stir-fry until evenly browned.
Add a few slices of ginger, 2 star anise, and 2 bay leaves.
Pour in 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce.
Add half a tablespoon of dark soy sauce.
Stir in a tablespoon of oyster sauce until well combined.
Pour in enough boiling water to cover the ribs, cover with a lid, and simmer over medium-low heat for 45 minutes.
Lastly, increase the heat to reduce the sauce until thickened, then sprinkle with some white sesame seeds.
The ribs should have a vibrant red color and tender texture, comparable to those served in restaurants, with even the bones packed with flavor.
