Tangcu Paigu Chinese Sweet And Sour Pork Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• Separate the ribs if the butcher hasn't already done so. They should be roughly bite-size.
• Marinate ribs with wine and soy sauce for 30 minutes.
• Remove ribs from marinade, reserving marinade for later.
• Heat peanut oil (about 6 cups) in wok until it's almost smoking.
• Deep fry ribs for 2 minutes, remove from oil with slotted spoon, reheat oil, and fry for another 1/2 minute until brown. (This is Pei Mei's method. Bruce Cost recommends deep-frying for 5-8 minutes.) Remove ribs from oil.
• Pour oil out of wok into a heatproof bowl (stainless steel or glass). (Once it's cool, you can strain it into glass jar for next time).
• To soy sauce marinade, add sugar, vinegar, corn starch mixture, sesame oil, and green onion to make sweet-sour sauce.
• Heat one tablespoon of oil in the wok, pour in the sweet-sour sauce, and boil and stir until thickened.
• Throw ribs into the wok with the sauce, and stir to coat thoroughly.
• Serve on a platter, hot or at room temperature.
• As the sole meat dish, this is enough for 2-3 people, but as part of a full meal with a variety of dishes, it serves up to 8 or 10.

Steps:

• Stove top method:.
• Place pork ribs, ginger, and water in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil.
• Turn down to a simmer and skim scum off the top. Continue simmering covered for 60 minutes, until almost completely tender.
• In the meantime, peel the daikon and cut it into 1″ thick rounds, then quarter the rounds.
• Add the daikon to the soup, and simmer 30-45 minutes more, until pork and daikon are both completely tender.
• Adjust the seasoning, and serve, garnished with fresh cilantro or green onion.
• Serve as part of a Chinese Meal.
• Slow Cooker Method:.
• Bring water to a boil on stovetop.
• Carefully add all ingredients except cilantro/green onion to the boiling water. Bring back to a rolling boil and skim foam from the top.
• Transfer to slow cooker.
• Simmer 4-5 hours on high or all day on low. Set the lid of the slow cooker slightly askew so that some steam can escape as it is cooking.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large wok over medium high heat and brown ribs-around 10 minutes.
• Add the soy sauce and continue browning.
• Add the vinegar and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Add brown sugar and simmer 10 minutes more.
• You might need a bit more vinegar at this point.
• You want the sauce thick but fluid.
• Add the peppers and onions and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the ketchup and stir.
• Taste and adjust the vinegar/brown sugar ratio.
• If needed add cornstarch to thicken.

Steps:

• Combine pork ribs, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon rice wine, and salt in a large bowl. Marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• Heat oil in a wok or deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook ribs in the hot oil until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
• Bring remaining 1 teaspoon rice wine, sugar, and water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in ribs; reduce heat and simmer until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Stir in black vinegar. Increase heat to high; cook and stir until sauce thickens and coats the ribs, 1 to 2 minutes.
