Chinese five-spice spare ribs- step by step method!
Step 1
Ask your butcher to first split the spareribs into individual ribs and then into roughly 7.5-cm (3-inch) portions. Alternatively, use a hefty, sharp cleaver that can chop through bones to accomplish this yourself.
Step 2
In a dish, combine the marinate ingredients. Then, let the spareribs sit at room temperature for approximately twenty-five minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the spareribs from the marinade.
Step 3
Heat the oil in a big wok or deep-fat fryer. The marinated spareribs should be browned in many batches when the oil is quite hot and just beginning to smoke. Every cooked batch should be drained on kitchen paper. The frying oil should be allowed to cool. If you wish to use it again for cooking pork, strain it through a filter.)
Step 4
Add the sauce ingredients to a sanitised frying pan or wok. After bringing the sauce to a boil, lower the heat. Stirring occasionally, add the spareribs, cover, and boil gently for approximately 40 minutes.
Step 5
To keep the spareribs from drying out, thin the sauce with a little water if needed. Remove any excess fat from the surface, transfer to a heated platter, and serve right away.
That is it! Your amazing Chinese five spice spare ribs is ready and time to serve! Like I said earlier, the perfect meal to have as a sharing platter when all your friends and family are round for a family dinner or to watch the footy, perfect for a snack when your having a movie night with your significant other, or this is even the perfect dinner to make after a long day at work or school when you just want your comfort food!
