Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the fresh pork chops, drain the water, and add a small amount of salt

   

2. 2 Add one spoon of cooking wine, two spoons of light soy sauce, half a spoon of dark soy sauce, and marinate for 30 minutes.

   

3. 3 Pour the marinated ribs into the pot, add water to cover the ribs by 1 cm, and add spices.

   

4. 4 The fire is boiling

   

5. 5 Turn to low heat and simmer for 20 minutes, checking every 10 minutes to prevent the water from drying out. Remember not to add cold water.

   

6. 6 Use a small bowl to add two tablespoons of starch and fill the bowl to less than half a bowl of water.

   

7. 7 Add the egg white to the egg, make a hole from the sharpest end and pour out the egg white. Then stir well.

   

8. 8 Take out the cooked ribs and put them into a basin, stir in the starchy egg whites and then mix evenly with the cooked ribs. Be careful if the ribs burn your hands.

   

9. 9 Heat the pot, turn it to medium heat, pour in a small bowl of peanut oil, wait until the oil temperature comes up, use chopsticks to put the ribs into the pot and fry (remember not to pour the ribs in the pot into the pot together, otherwise the ribs with added starch will stick together. Be careful not to let the high temperature oil burn your hands. If you are afraid, hold the pot lid with your left hand to block it)

   

10. 10 Pay attention to the fried golden brown ones and use chopsticks to pick them up and put them on the plate. Otherwise, if they are over fried, you will have to eat charcoal grilled ribs.

    

11. 11 Okay, this is the fried pork ribs

    

12. 12 Using a small bowl, add two spoons of sugar, two spoons of vinegar, one spoon of starch, one spoon of light soy sauce, and two spoons of tomato sauce, stir well and set aside.

    

13. 13 Put the excess oil from the previously fried pork ribs to one side, leaving only a little oil at the bottom of the pot. Heat the oil in the pan over medium heat, and then pour in the fried pork ribs.

    

14. 14 Stir the bowl of secretly prepared soup twice more, because the starch has precipitated, then immediately pour it into the pot, mix with the ribs, and stir-fry. (This process is too fast, be careful not to knock over the wok.)

    

15. 15 This is what it looks like after pouring in the secret soup. Just pay attention and it's almost done, because the ribs are already cooked, so don't overcook them.

    

16. 16 Once done, turn off the heat quickly. If you like, add two lettuce leaves to the plate. It looks so green. Scoop the ribs from the pot onto a plate and arrange them into a nice shape.
