Braised Pork Ribs
Tender pork ribs are braised in a savory, glossy sauce with rock sugar, soy sauce, and aromatics.
Story
The ribs are first blanched, then stir-fried in caramelized rock sugar until evenly coated. After simmering with ginger, garlic, and star anise, the sauce is reduced until thick and shiny, creating a rich, appetizing glaze.
