After the oil is heated, saute the ginger and garlic until fragrant, then pour the pork ribs into the pan, add star anise, cinnamon, and lemon zest, stir-fry the pork ribs until they change color, pour the black tea water into the pan, boil over high heat, turn to medium heat and continue to simmer for about 20 minutes, and serve after the soup becomes thick.Tea Fragrant Ribs Make Tips
It is best to choose small pork ribs with some fat for this dish; this way, the ribs won't turn out too dry. When eaten, they are full of tea aroma with a hint of lemon fragrance, and won't feel greasy. If you enjoy braised pork, you can also try substituting the ribs with pork belly, keeping the ingredients and method unchanged. Compared to traditional braised pork, this version offers an extra touch of tea aroma and less greasiness, making it equally delicious.
