　　Cumin-flavored Pork Riblets

　　Cumin-flavored Pork Riblets are made from pork riblets (each pig has only two riblets) from the hind leg. They are prepared through marinating, steaming, deep-frying, and braising, resulting in tender, crispy meat that is fragrant without being greasy. The cumin-flavored riblets from the regions of Hubei and Hunan, along with garlic-flavored ribs from Guangdong and soy-braised spare ribs from Wuxi, are known as China’s Three Famous Ribs, which speaks to the deliciousness of cumin-flavored riblets.

　　Ingredients: 6 riblets, 1 red bell pepper finely chopped, appropriate amounts of minced garlic and scallions, 1 teaspoon cumin powder.

　　1. Marinate the riblets with a little light soy sauce, sugar, MSG, and cooking wine for 2 hours.

　　2. Steam the riblets until cooked, strain the steaming liquid and set aside to cool, keeping the steaming juice for later use.

　　3. Heat oil to 80% heat, deep-fry the riblets until golden brown on the surface, then remove and drain the oil.

　　4. Sauté the minced garlic, chopped red bell pepper, and riblets. Add a mixture of an appropriate amount of steaming juice, cumin powder, light soy sauce, sugar, and MSG. Stir-fry until the sauce thickens, then sprinkle with scallions before serving.
