Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, it’s crucial to remove the blood from the pork ribs. Soak the pork ribs in cold water for at least 3 hours, changing the water a few times during this period. Properly draining the blood is key to eliminating any gamey smell and achieving a clean flavor.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious marinade! In a large bowl, combine 10 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of cooking wine, 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, 5 shakes of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of ginseng extract (if using). Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Ginseng extract adds an extra layer of flavor, but the dish is still delicious without it.
Step 3
Drain the soaked pork ribs and pat them dry. Place them in the prepared marinade and gently massage to coat each piece evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to penetrate deep into the meat.
Step 4
Transfer the marinated pork ribs to a deep pot or wok. Add 3 cups (600cc) of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The dish is ready when the sauce has reduced and the ribs are glossy and tender. Enjoy this irresistible rice-pairing dish!
