Ingredients- Pork spare ribs 600g
- Mala sauce 90g
- Dried bird’s eye chilies 20 (or adjust to taste)
- Minced garlic 30g (approx. 3 Tbsp)
- Green bell pepper 30g (approx. 1/4)
- Red bell pepper 50g (approx. 1/3)
- Onion 50g (approx. 1/4)
- Bay leaves
- Scallions (for garnish)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Remove the clumped fat from the front of the pork ribs and the thin membrane from the back. Leaving the membrane on can make the meat tough, so it’s best to carefully peel it off with a knife or scissors. If this step seems tedious, you can remove it while rinsing the ribs in cold water.
Step 2
Carefully cut between the bones of the ribs. Pre-cutting them like this can shorten the blood-draining time and help the sauce penetrate more evenly. This is faster than draining the whole rack.
Step 3
In a large pot, add enough cold water to cover the ribs. Include bay leaves, whole peppercorns (optional), peeled garlic cloves, and the white parts of green onions. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the ribs, reduce to medium-low heat, and simmer for 30-40 minutes until the ribs are tender. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface for a clearer broth.
Step 4
Prepare the vegetables for stir-frying. Peel and finely mince the onion (about 0.5cm dice). Remove the stems and seeds from the green and red bell peppers, then finely mince them to a similar size as the onion. Having the vegetables prepped beforehand makes the cooking process much smoother.
Step 5
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then, add the minced onion and cook until translucent. Next, add the minced red and green bell peppers and stir-fry. Finally, add the dried bird’s eye chilies to bring in the spicy aroma. Be careful not to burn the garlic over high heat.
Step 6
Once the vegetables are tender and sautéed, add the boiled ribs to the pan. Gently mix them with the vegetables, ensuring the ribs are evenly distributed.
Step 7
Now it’s time to add the delicious mala sauce! Generously pour 90g of Haots Mala Sauce over the ribs and vegetables. Stir and cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, turning the ribs occasionally, allowing the sauce to coat everything evenly. The sauce will thicken, and the ribs will develop a glossy sheen.
Step 8
Presentation makes a difference! Plate the finished Mala Pork Rib Stir-Fry attractively on a Chinese-style platter or individual plates. Garnish with freshly chopped scallions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for a beautiful finish.
Step 9
Your spicy and aromatic Mala Pork Rib Stir-Fry is ready! It’s best enjoyed immediately while hot. The satisfaction of gnawing the meat off the bone makes this a truly hearty and enjoyable dish!
