Lam Yee Spareribs

Lam yee is the variety of preserved bean curd which is made with fermented red rice and its nickname is "Chinese cheese."as it has a pungent aroma similar to strong cheese. To me, cos i am chinese, finds this pungent aroma not offensive compared to strong cheese but the taste is very salty and has to be used for marinating or making sauces.





Ingredients:

1 lb of pork spareribs
1 tbsp cooking wine
oil for frying

Marinate:

3 pieces of lam yee
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp 5 spice powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp soya sauce
1 tbsp shaoxing hua tiau
1 tsp tapioca starch




Method:

Parboil spareribs in boiling water with 1 tablespoon of wine for 10 minutes, remove and pat dry.

Mix the marinate and pour into the spareribs. Leave in fridge to marinade for at least 1 hour.

Heat enough oil for deep frying. Deep fry the spareribs in moderately hot oil until ribs are crispy and brown.

Drain spareribs on baking rack and then on kitchen towel then serve
