- 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 serving cooked rice
- A pinch of chili threads (for garnish)
Braised Ribs Seasoning- 4 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin or similar)
- 1 paper cup (200ml) pear juice (bottled)
- 1/2 Tbsp minced ginger
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- A dash of black pepper
- 4 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin or similar)
- 1 paper cup (200ml) pear juice (bottled)
- 1/2 Tbsp minced ginger
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp sugar

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully remove the bones from the pork ribs. Then, score the meat with a knife in a crosshatch pattern. This helps the marinade penetrate better and makes the ribs incredibly tender when cooked. Cut the ribs into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Let’s make the braising sauce that will define the flavor of your dish! In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, cooking wine, pear juice, minced ginger, minced garlic, sugar, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined and there are no lumps.
Step 3
Add the prepared ribs to the bowl with the marinade. Gently toss to coat the ribs evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably for an hour or longer, to allow the flavors to fully develop.
Step 4
Finely chop the green onions. These will add a fresh, vibrant color and flavor to your rice bowl. Aim for about 0.5cm pieces for a nice aesthetic.
Step 5
Transfer the marinated ribs and all the marinade to a wide pan or pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. It’s a good idea to stir occasionally to prevent the meat from sticking to the pan.
Step 6
Once the braised ribs start to gently bubble, continue to cook over medium heat until the sauce has reduced by about half. Then, reduce the heat to low. Simmering on low heat ensures the ribs cook through evenly without burning.
Step 7
When the sauce has thickened to a glaze and the ribs look glossy, turn off the heat. Finish by drizzling in the sesame oil and giving it a quick stir. Your delicious braised ribs are now ready!
Step 8
Serve a generous portion of warm rice in a bowl. Top the rice with the beautifully cooked braised ribs. Don’t forget to spoon a little of the savory sauce over the rice – it’s perfect for mixing!
Step 9
Sprinkle the finely chopped green onions evenly over the braised ribs. Their bright green color will make the dish look even more appetizing.
Step 10
Now for the grand finale of this dish! Carefully place the fresh egg yolk in the center of the braised ribs. Its rich creaminess will add another layer of deliciousness.
Step 11
Finally, garnish with a small pinch of chili threads for a touch of color. Your visually stunning and incredibly flavorful braised ribs rice bowl is complete! Break the yolk and mix everything together for the ultimate taste sensation.
