Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kg pork ribs
- 5 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1.5 cups water
- 1 thumb-sized piece ginger
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 stalks spring onions
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
Cut the pork ribs into bite-sized pieces if not already cut, and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. Set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the ginger. Crush and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the pork ribs to the pot and sear them on all sides until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour the sauce mixture over the ribs and stir to coat evenly.
Add water to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
After 45 minutes, uncover the pot and stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Add sesame oil for an extra layer of flavor.
Garnish with chopped spring onions before serving. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
