Sweet and Sour Ribs with a twist of Chinese Spice Vinegar ..... mmm. Gosh, my boys polish this dish up in no time whenever I make this for them. It is so good on plain rice and you would never believe it how easy it is to make !!!! You should really give this one a try !!!!
Chinese Spice Vinegar Ribs (糖醋排骨)
1 x 1/3 cup Chinese cooking wine
2 x 1/3 cup light soy sauce
3 x 1/3 cup white sugar
4 x 1/3 cup Spice Vinegar (Zhen Jiang Vinegar) from Amoy
5 x 1/3 cup water
1 1/2 lbs spare ribs
Step 1:
Cut spare ribs into pieces (or have it done by the butcher like I do !) and put them into a separate bowl of boiling water for a few minutes to rinse away any blood. Afterwards rinse it clean under running water to remove any dirt and debris from the blanching.
Step 2:
Add spare ribs into the above ingredients into a medium size glass bowl (has to be glass as the vinegar would ruin all your other bowls !) and bring to boil. Turn down to medium-low heat. Cook for about 1 hour until the sauce evaporates, starts to thicken and spare ribs turn dark brown. Serve hot over a bowl of white rice !
Enjoy !
Susane,
ReplyDeleteFor step 2, I don't understand what to do. Do you mean I have to use a glass bowl for all the ingredients? THEN I put into a separate (glass or non-glass) pot and bring to boil?
I think this is right, right? Is that what you mean?
Let me help you to understand it clearer: You will have to use a cook pot that is made of glass as this recipe contains a quite fair amount of vinegar that will kill your metal or non-stick pot. So use the glas or even a clay pot to cook everything in it !!
