Spicy Stir-Fried Pork Ribs
Aromatic, spicy, and deeply savory stir-fried pork ribs braised in beer with ginger, garlic, and fresh chilies until tender and glossy.
Spicy stir-fried pork ribs are a bold and comforting dish that brings together the richness of rendered pork fat with the fiery kick of fresh chili peppers and aromatics. Searing the ribs first locks in their savory depth before simmering them in a flavorful blend of soy sauce and beer, resulting in a rich glaze that clings to every piece.
Ingredients
- 500 g pork ribs
- 15 g ginger
- 4 cloves garlic
- 5 pieces small spicy chili peppers
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cooking wine
- 200 ml beer
- 150 ml clear water
- 2 pieces green chili peppers
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
Instructions
- 1Sear Pork Ribs
Place the raw pork ribs into a hot wok and stir-fry continuously until the meat turns golden brown and the excess fat renders out completely.
Tip: Make sure the wok is hot before adding the ribs to prevent sticking. - 2Add Aromatics and Chilies
Add minced ginger, garlic, and chopped red chili peppers into the wok with the browned ribs. Stir-fry everything together to release their spicy aromas.
Tip: Fry the aromatics briefly until fragrant before mixing thoroughly with the ribs. - 3Season the Ribs
Add salt, chili powder, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce over the ribs, followed by a splash of cooking wine. Stir well to ensure even coating and develop a savory flavor.
Tip: Add the soy sauces along the edge of the hot wok to enhance the aroma. - 4Braise with Beer
Pour in the beer followed by clear water over the seasoned ribs, then cover the wok with a wooden lid to let everything braise until tender.
Tip: Using beer adds a unique depth of flavor and helps tenderize the pork. - 5Stir and Finish
Stir everything together thoroughly to evenly coat the ribs in the rich sauce before finishing the dish.
Tip: Make sure the sauce has reduced slightly to properly coat each piece of rib.
