Yield Makes 4 servings(as part of a Chinese meal)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 scallion, trimmed, plus 1 tablespoon chopped scallion
1 pound pork spareribs, cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces by butcher
1/3 cup Chinese rice wine (preferably Shaoxing) or medium-dry Sherry
1 tablespoon regular soy sauce (sometimes labeled "thin")
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (sometimes labeled "superior")
3 cups plus 1 tablespoon water
1 (1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1 1/2 teaspoons star anise pieces (not whole)
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
1 1/2 tablespoons coarsely crushed yellow rock sugar (sometimes labeled "yellow rock candy")
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Blanch whole scallion in a 4-quart pot of boiling water until softened, about 1 minute. Transfer scallion to a work surface and return pot of water to a boil. Add ribs to boiling water and return to a boil, then immediately drain ribs in a colander. Transfer ribs to a wide 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy pot. Carefully tie blanched scallion into a knot and add to pot with ribs.
  • Add wine, soy sauces, 3 cups water, ginger, anise, cinnamon, sugar, and pepper to pot with ribs and simmer, covered, until meat is just tender, about 1 hour. Remove lid and boil over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced by three fourths and meat is very tender, about 20 minutes more. Whisk together cornstarch and remaining tablespoon water in a cup. Reduce heat to moderate and add cornstarch mixture to ribs, then cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Serve sprinkled with chopped scallion and cilantro.

These ribs were amazing! I've never had Wuxi spareribs before, but I'll definitely be making them again.

I'm not a huge fan of ribs, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The ribs were very tender and the sauce was delicious.

This recipe was a disaster! The ribs were tough and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this recipe again.

The ribs were a bit dry, but the sauce was very flavorful. I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These ribs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still pretty good. I'll probably try a different recipe next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. The ribs are always fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is to die for.

This is the best Wuxi spareribs recipe I've ever tried. The ribs were so tender and juicy, and the sauce was perfectly balanced.

Wuxi spareribs are a staple in my kitchen. This recipe is a keeper! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was divine. My family devoured them in minutes.
