How to Cook Braised Pork Ribs with King Oyster Mushrooms

Braised pork ribs with king oyster mushrooms is a savory, umami-rich dish that’s beloved for its tender meat and juicy, meaty mushrooms. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to guide you.

Ingredients: 500g pork ribs (cut into pieces), 200g king oyster mushrooms (sliced), 3 ginger slices, 2 garlic cloves, 1 scallion (chopped), 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp cooking wine, 1 tsp sugar, a pinch of salt, and enough oil for stir-frying.

Steps:

1. Prep the ribs: Soak ribs in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess blood. Pat dry and marinate with 1 tbsp soy sauce, cooking wine, and ginger for 15 minutes.

2. Cook the ribs: Heat oil in a pot, stir-fry ribs over medium heat until golden brown. Add garlic and ginger, sauté until fragrant.

3. Simmer: Pour in 2 cups water, add oyster sauce, sugar, and remaining soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

4. Add mushrooms: Toss in king oyster mushrooms, cook for another 10-15 minutes until ribs are tender and mushrooms absorb the broth.

5. Finish: Adjust seasoning, garnish with scallions, and serve hot with rice.

This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice, offering a harmonious blend of meaty, earthy flavors. Enjoy your homemade culinary delight!
