SINGAPOREAN TENDER PORK SPARE RIBS



Singaporean Tender Pork Spare Ribs image

This is one of my mother's excellent Asian recipes. These spare ribs are marinated in light and dark soy sauce, orange juice, garlic, and peppercorn, then fried briefly. After simmering the ribs, marinade, and spices such as star anise and cinnamon for an hour, they are ready to serve with white rice. Very flavorful and tender!

This is out of my Asian cookbook...enjoy! Cooking time doesn't include marinating time...based on KateL's review I posted a photo of my 3 pounds of ribs in my lasagne pan...I also took the pan out of the oven to turn the ribs keeping the oven temperature steady...I did change the cooking time to include another 10 minutes...that's how long it took mine to get nice and caramelized...hope this helps...

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 pieces prime pork ribs (about 1/2 pound per pork rib)
2 egg whites
2 1/2 oz. packets instant coffee mix
3 tablespoons Asian oyster sauce.
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons sugar
2 red chilis, chopped (preferably, bird's eye chillies)
2 sprigs spring onions
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons cinnamon powder for dusting
Vegetable oil, as needed for deep frying
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, marinate the ribs at room temperature for at least 30 minutes in egg whites along with a pinch of salt. Using your hands, rub in the corn starch, making sure that it partially coats all of the ribs. Allow them to sit for 10 minutes.
  • In a high-sided pot, heat the peanut oil to 350 degrees F and deep fry the ribs for about 5 minutes, or until roasting needle comes out clear, and set aside. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, add 1/2 cup of water, the instant coffee mix, oyster sauce and one chile and simmer over medium heat until sauce thickens.
  • While simmering, add the sugar and allow the sauce to caramelize. Add the ribs to the pan and gently toss until they are fully coated and little sauce remains.
  • Serve with a dust of cinnamon powder and top with chopped spring onions and the remaining chile.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality pork spare ribs. Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of fat.
  • Marinate the ribs for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.

  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.
