Chinese Sweet and Sour Ribs

Welcome back to Craig's custom cooking today. I'm going to make Chinese sweet and sour ribs. Let me readjust the camera and I'll show you the process.

First, I add two pounds of pork ribs to a pan of cold water and bring it to a boil. After blanching for two to three minutes, I run them under warm water.

Next, I melt rock sugar in avocado oil until it turns dark red. Then I add the ribs, coating them with the oil and sugar mixture. I also add light soy sauce, cooking wine, black vinegar, and dark soy sauce. I let it cook for two to three minutes.

Then, I add water just to cover the ribs and add star anise, ginger, garlic, and green onions. I simmer it for 50 minutes, stirring occasionally. After removing the ginger and anise, I let the sauce thicken and coat the ribs.

Finally, I plate the sweet and sour spare ribs and enjoy them with asparagus and mushrooms. The ribs are tender and flavorful. It was a successful attempt at making this dish.
