Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Soak the sweet potato stems in cold water for at least 1 hour. Because I go to work, I soak them in the morning before going out and just use them for cooking when I get home at night. Just cut the sweet potato stems into sections about 10 cm long

   

2. 2 Wash the ribs and boil them in cold water until they are raw. This will also allow the impurities in the ribs to have space to escape.

   

3. 3 After boiling, cook for 5 minutes longer, then remove

   

4. 4 When cooking the ribs, chop the green onions and shred the ginger so that when you eat it later, you won’t eat the ginger as well

   

5. 5 Add cooking oil to the pot, and when it starts to smoke slightly, add the ribs and stir-fry. I thought my ribs were brought from my hometown butchered pigs. They are a little fat, so they need to be fried for a while. Ordinary ribs can be fried until they are slightly golden on the outside

   

6. 6 Add sugar to give the ribs a sugar color

   

7. 7 Add cooking wine and soy sauce and stir-fry for a while, then add shredded ginger, chopped green onions and aniseed, stir-fry until the green onions are fragrant

   

8. 8 Add the sweet potato stalks and stir-fry for a few times until the seasonings are fully in contact with the sweet potato stalks. Then add hot water and start stewing the ribs (generally speaking, the dishes made with hot water taste better, cold water is also acceptable)

   

9. 9 Add the sweet potato stalks and stir-fry for a few times to allow the seasonings to fully contact with the sweet potato stalks. Then add hot water and start stewing the ribs (generally speaking, dishes made with heated water taste better)

   

10. 10 After cooking for about 20 minutes, you can add some lotus root slices according to personal preference. At this time, you can add salt. Do not add the salt too early, otherwise the texture of the ribs will be very tight. If possible, you can add the sweet potato stems and simmer in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes to make the ribs taste better.

    

11. 11 Add the rapeseed before leaving the country. The rapeseed is easy to cook. Just stir-fry it twice and it will be ready.

    

12. 12 It’s out of the pot

    

13. 13 Pair it with seaweed and egg drop soup to make a dinner for two.
