Ingredients

pork ribs (cut into 4 cm segments, washed, drained) 1.5 kg

soy sauce (a little for marinating, the rest for braising) 130 g

fine salt 5 g

white sugar 50 g

fermented tofu brine 80 g

cooking wine 10 g

scallions (cut into segments) 50 g

ginger (sliced) 15 g

cornstarch slurry (part for marinating) 80 g

vegetable oil (for frying) 2 kg (250 g actually consumed)

water (enough to cover the ribs) to taste

Instructions

Prepare and deep-fry the ribs

Cut the scallions into segments and slice the ginger. Chop the ribs into 4 cm segments, wash them, drain well, and place in a bowl. Add a little soy sauce and cornstarch slurry and mix evenly. Deep-fry in hot oil until golden red, then remove from the oil (fry in 3 batches).

Braise to absorb the flavors

Place the fried ribs into a pot. Add water (enough to cover the ribs), the remaining soy sauce, fine salt, white sugar, cooking wine, scallion segments, ginger slices, and fermented tofu brine. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and braise until they are tender and falling apart.
