How to Make Drunken Pork Ribs: A Complete Guide

Drunken Pork Ribs, a beloved Chinese dish, are tender ribs braised in a flavorful sauce with a hint of wine aroma. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to recreate this restaurant favorite at home.

Ingredients: 500g pork ribs, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 cup water, 2 sliced ginger, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 1 green onion (chopped), and a pinch of five-spice powder.

Steps:

1. Marinate the ribs: Rinse ribs and pat dry. Mix soy sauce, 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine, and five-spice powder. Rub over ribs and let marinate for 20 minutes.

2. Sear the ribs: Heat oil in a wok. Add ribs and sear until golden on all sides. Remove and set aside.

3. Simmer: In the same wok, sauté ginger and garlic until fragrant. Return ribs, add sugar, remaining wine, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes, covered, until ribs are tender.

4. Reduce sauce: Uncover and increase heat to thicken the sauce into a glossy glaze. Sprinkle green onions before serving.

Tips: For a richer flavor, use dark soy sauce. Adjust sugar and salt to taste. Serve hot with steamed rice for the perfect meal. Enjoy this melt-in-your-mouth dish with its sweet, savory, and wine-infused taste!
