Braised spareribs with red bean cheese

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 pounds Pork spareribs
½ Clove garlic
1 slice Fresh ginger root
¼ cup Scallion tops
2 tablespoons Red bean cheese (see recipe)
1 teaspoon Soy sauce
½ teaspoon Sugar
½ teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Oil
½ cup Water
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
¼ cup Water

Directions

1. Cut ribs apart; then with a cleaver, chop each, bone and all, in 1-inch sections. Mince garlic clove and ginger root. Cut scallion tops in 1-inch lengths.

2. Mash red bean cheese and combine with soy sauce, sugar and salt.

3. Heat oil in a heavy pan. Add minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry a few times. Add spareribs and stir-fry to coat with oil. Add red bean cheese mixture and stir-fry until ribs begin to brown.

4. Add water and heat quickly; then simmer, covered, until ribs are done (about 30 minutes). If liquid evaporates, add some boiling water to prevent burning.

5. Blend cornstarch and remaining cold water to a paste; then stir in to thicken. Sprinkle with scallion tops and serve.
