How to Make Braised Pork Ribs with Pumpkin: A Step-by-Step Guide

Braised pork ribs with pumpkin is a comforting, flavorful dish that combines tender meat, sweet pumpkin, and a savory sauce. Here’s a simple recipe to recreate it at home.

Ingredients: 500g pork ribs, 300g pumpkin (cut into 2cm cubes), 3 garlic cloves (sliced), 1 ginger slice, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 cup water, and a pinch of salt.

Steps:

1. Prep the ribs: Rinse ribs, pat dry, and marinate in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar for 15 minutes.

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

3. Sauté aromatics: In the same pot, cook garlic and ginger until fragrant. Return ribs, add water, and simmer for 20 minutes.

4. Add pumpkin: Place pumpkin cubes among the ribs. Cover and cook for 15–20 minutes until pumpkin is soft and ribs are tender.

5. Season and serve: Adjust salt if needed. Garnish with green onions and serve hot with rice.

Tips: For richer flavor, use dark soy sauce. Choose ripe pumpkin for a natural sweetness. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice, making it a hearty family meal. Enjoy!
