Ingredients
- 1 kg short-cut pork ribs, divided into individual ribs
- 2 tbsp cornflour, plus extra, for dusting
- 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine
- 1 egg white
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground white pepper
- 1-2 litres canola oil, for deep-frying, plus 1 tbsp for wok frying
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Sauce
- 60 ml (¼ cup) tomato sauce
- 1 tbsp white vinegar or rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp sugar
- 60 ml (¼ cup) stock or water
Marinating time: 1 hour
Instructions
1. Combine the pork ribs with the cornflour, Shaoxing wine, egg white, salt and pepper and marinate for at least 1 hour.
2. Heat the oil for deep-frying in a large saucepan or wok to 170˚C. Transfer half the ribs to a clean bowl and scatter with extra cornflour, tossing to coat. Deep-fry the ribs for 5-8 minutes depending on the thickness of your ribs. If just using the bone portion of the ribs 5 minutes should be enough, but if the ribs contain more of the belly, fry them for 8 minutes. Remove from the oil and set aside, then repeat with the remaining ribs.
3. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and stir to dissolve the sugar. Heat a wok over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil and the garlic and fry until the garlic is fragrant and lightly browned. Add the sauce and bring to a simmer. Add the ribs and toss to coat until the sauce is thickened, then serve.
