Chinese 1-2-3-4-5 Spareribs


This is a dish every chinese should know how to make and it's super easy to make too. Best to go with rice!

Ingredients:
Spareribs cut into 1.5" each
1tbsp - wine
2tbsp light soy sauce
2tbsp dark soy sauce
3tbsp brown vinegar
4tbsp sugar
5tbsp water

* depending on how many spareribs you have, if after placing all the above ingredients into a pot, it is not sufficient to cover all your spareribs, either add water to make sure all spareribs are just covered or double the above ingredients.

How to Make:

1. Wash the spareribs, drain and then blanch in hot water for 10 min. Remove from pot.

2. Add the spareribs to a new pot, then add the above ingredients and bring to a boil. Then turn to medium heat and braised for approx 30-45min. checking it from time to time to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom.

3. after approx 30-45min, check is spareribs are soft enough by poking a chopstick inside the meat. If sounds tender to you, then check taste of sauce and adjust to your likings (eg. if not sweet enough, then add a bit more sugarm if not sour enough, then add some vinegar, etc). 

3. When the meat and taste of sauce all ok, then check if sauce is thick enough to your likings. If not, then turn on the fire a bit more until sauce thickens.

Serve with hot rice and enjoy!
