Baby Ginger Ribs

Baby Ginger Ribs

　　　People in Shaxi love eating Baby Ginger Ribs, and this is inseparable from their skill in cooking them. These ribs are sweet with a hint of sourness, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the slight spiciness of ginger and tang of vinegar really whet the appetite. Making Baby Ginger Ribs is a specialty dish that every housewife in Shaxi excels at.

　　Select thin pork ribs, preferably those with a bit of fat, as such fat is less likely to get stuck in your teeth. Then cut the ribs into pieces, coat them with cornstarch to thicken, and fry them in hot oil. Mix red yeast rice, oxtail soup, vinegar, rock sugar, and salt, then pour over the ribs and braise them until tender in a pot. Next, cook the baby ginger with sugar, then thicken it with the rib sauce. When serving, simply combine the baby ginger with the ribs.
