Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs with Hawthorn Sauce
Overview
Yesterday my husband came back from buying pork ribs and said he wanted to eat sweet and sour pork ribs. Today I tried making this dish for the first time. I slightly changed the ingredients according to my own method and replaced the vinegar with the hawthorn sauce I made a few days ago. I like the taste of the finished product very much. It has a bit of hawthorn fruity aroma and is sweet and sour at the same time. I can't help but dip my chopsticks into the sauce and stuff it into my mouth when it's on the plate... The sweet and sour pork ribs have a sweet, sour and mellow taste. It's a good dish to go with wine or as an appetizer.

Steps
-
Wash the ribs and add them to a pot of cold water. After boiling for 1 minute, turn off the heat. Pour out the water from the first pass and rinse the pot. Add cold water again. Add the ribs, green onions, star anise and half a spoonful of white wine. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for half an hour
-
After cooking, take it out and set aside. Keep the meat soup aside for later use. Do not pour it away
-
Heat a little oil in a pan, add sugar and fry until caramel color
-
Add the blanched pork ribs and stir-fry until caramelized
-
Add 2 spoons of hawthorn sauce and stir-fry until evenly mixed

Add cooking broth to cover the ribs (just soup, not the original ingredients in the soup), then add half a spoon of dark soy sauce, 1 spoon of very fresh flavor, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer until the water is reduced by more than half, add 1 spoon of hawthorn sauce, season with appropriate amount of salt, and simmer until the water dries up, leaving a thick sauce (I forgot to take a photo before taking it out of the pot, let’s look at the finished product)
