Braised pork ribs with corn is a comforting, flavorful dish that tenderizes ribs in a savory sauce while infusing sweet corn with rich meaty juices. Here’s a simple recipe to recreate it at home.
Ingredients:
- 500g pork ribs, cut into 3-4 inch pieces
- 2 corn cobs, sectioned
- 3-4 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 tbsp ginger, sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (divided)
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 star anise (optional)
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Steps:
1. Prepare the ribs: Marinate ribs with 1 tbsp soy sauce, pepper, and salt for 15 minutes. Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat; sear ribs until golden on all sides, then set aside.
2. Sauté aromatics: In the same pot, stir-fry garlic, ginger, and star anise until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Simmer: Return ribs to the pot. Add Shaoxing wine, sugar, and the remaining soy sauce. Pour in broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
4. Add corn: Place corn sections among the ribs. Continue simmering for another 15-20 minutes, until ribs are tender and the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Serve: Adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot with steamed rice.
This dish balances the ribs’ umami with corn’s natural sweetness, making it a family favorite. Enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich flavors!
