How to Make Perfect Braised Pork Ribs and Potatoes

Braised pork ribs and potatoes is a comforting, hearty dish loved worldwide. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to guide you.

Ingredients: 500g pork ribs, 2 potatoes (peeled and cubed), 1 onion (sliced), 3 garlic cloves (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 cup broth, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

Steps:

1. Prep the ribs: Rinse ribs, pat dry, and marinate in soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper for 20 minutes.

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

3. Sauté aromatics: In the same pot, sauté onions and garlic until fragrant. Return ribs, add broth, and bring to a boil.

4. Simmer: Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add potatoes, stir, and cook for another 20–25 minutes until ribs are tender and potatoes are soft.

5. Finish: Adjust seasoning, garnish with herbs (like parsley or cilantro), and serve hot with rice.

Tips: For extra flavor, add a splash of rice wine or star anise during simmering. Ensure potatoes are added later to avoid overcooking. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice, offering a savory, melt-in-your-mouth experience. Enjoy!
