Wu Xi Spareribs

Thank you Jolibakery for sharing this recipe. This recipe is easy and very delicious. I used the pressure cooker which cuts the cooking time by a quarter and added more wine for the marinate.



Ingredients:

1 slab spareribs about 1 1/2 lbs

(A) Marinate:

1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp Shaoxing wine


(B) Seasoning:

1 tbsp oil
5 slices of ginger
½ onion, sliced
2 stalks spring onion
6 cloves garlic
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp Shaoxing wine
2 whole star anise
2cm cinnamon stick
1-2 tsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp tomato sauce
2 cups water
Salt & ground black pepper to taste



Method:

Marinate the spareribs with ingredients (A) for 2 hours.

Heat oil in a pressure cooker. Fry ginger, spring onion and garlic until fragrant. Add spareribs and the remaining seasoning. Close the lid of the pressure cooker and bring pressure to high.
Reduce heat and pressurise for about 15 minutes. Turn of heat and release the pressure before opening lid. The meat should be tender. Cook meat uncovered until gravy is thick, almost dries up..

Sprinkle chopped spring onions on spareribs and serve
