Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings

  • 1kg cubed pork ribs
  • 1/4 radish
  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1 onion
  • 2 green onions
  • 1 piece ginger
  • 3 star anise
  • 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • enough water to cover
  • 0.5 tablespoon fermented soybean paste
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 0.5 tablespoon red pepper powder

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut radish, sweet potato, onion, and green onion into large pieces.
  2. Bring water to a boil, add ginger and 3 star anise, then briefly blanch the pork ribs until the surface is cooked through. Remove and drain.
  3. In a bowl, mix the blanched pork ribs with 0.5 tablespoon fermented soybean paste, 4 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, and 0.5 tablespoon red pepper powder. Toss well to marinate.
  4. Heat 5 tablespoons vegetable oil in a pot. Add the marinated pork ribs and large pieces of green onion along with the prepared vegetables. Stir-fry gently until fragrant.
  5. Once the marinade evenly coats the meat and vegetables, add enough water to just cover the ingredients.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Adding a small amount of fermented soybean paste deepens the color and adds a unique, rich depth of flavor to the stew.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or cast-iron pot with excellent moisture retention and sealing properties to ensure the meat stays tender and doesn't toughen during the short cooking time.
