What is sweet and sour pork ribs
Sweet and Sour Pork ribs is a Chinese dish consisting of meat (usually pork) marinated in vinegar and sugar. The dish originated from China and has become very popular in the United States.
Sweet and sour pork ribs are usually served with rice or noodles. In addition, it can also be eaten as a snack. It is sometimes accompanied by vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, broccoli, bean sprouts, etc.
The most common form of this dish is pork ribs that are first marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and other spices for at least two hours before being fried.
In some restaurants, they add pineapple juice to the marinade.
Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs Recipe
I used thin salt light soy sauce, so I added some dark soy sauce to color it. If it is ordinary soy sauce, soy sauce can be omitted.
Novices who can’t fry sugar color, don’t fry it. Chefs tried it and said that the coloring is also quite good.
Some people think that the cooking is not sour enough, so leave a tablespoon of white vinegar, pour it on it and collect the juice before it comes out of the pot, and operate it flexibly.
Ingredients:
| Pork ribs | 500g |
| Rock candy | About 15~20g |
| Cooking wine | 1 teaspoon |
| Light Soy sauce | 2 teaspoons |
| Rock candy | 3 tablespoons (about 45g) |
| White vinegar | 4 teaspoons |
| Dark Soy sauce | 1 teaspoon |
| Star anise | 1 capsule |
| Bay leaf | 2 small pieces |
| Chives | 1 knot |
| Ginger | 3 slices |
Tips for perfect dish
1. The light soy sauce and dark soy sauce used by each company are different, and the saltiness is different, taste the saltiness before the final pan, and then add or not add salt as appropriate.
2. Stir-fried sugar color would rather be slow-fried over low fire than high-fire, otherwise it will definitely be bitter. If novices can’t fry, don’t fry.
3. I personally think that yellow rock candy looks better than ordinary rock candy, and it’s not as sweet.
4. Only if you do it yourself, you can adjust it according to your own tastes and preferences.
5. You don’t have to copy it completely. It’s up to your personal preference to keep the star anise bay leaves.
6. Where is the vinegar? Vinegar in step 6.
7. The ribs I used must be cooked in half an hour. If you use spare ribs, adjust the time according to the actual situation and be flexible.

3. Pour the right amount of oil and rock sugar into the pot.
4. Heat on medium heat until it turns into caramel color, then turn to low heat. Don’t over-fry, or you will have black hair and bitterness. (It’s nothing to change the pot, it means that you forgot to take photos when the wok is in operation. The process and practice are the same, just show it.)
5. Pour the ribs and stir fry quickly to color. (This step is to fry the sugar color, in order to make the color better.) When pouring the ribs, you can use the pot cover to block it to prevent the oil from spilling on your body.
6. Turn to high heat, pour in cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rock sugar, white vinegar and sliced ginger, stir fry for aroma.
7. Prepare star anise bay leaves (If you don’t want to put it, then don’t put it. It depends on your personal preference, you don’t need to be too entangled. It’s flexible to cook at home (๑°⌓°๑), you don’t need to copy it, and no one forces you)

11. It smells good. Collect the juice according to personal preference. Some people like the dry ones, and some prefer the more juicy soup.
Taste the saltiness again. After all, the brands are different. The salt content of light soy sauce and soy sauce is different, so add salt when it is weak. Feel free to do it, don’t copy it.
12. After baking, sprinkle with fried white sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
