Boiled Pork Side Ribs
Ingredients:
– 2 lbs pork side ribs, cut into individual pieces
– 1 onion, peeled and halved
– 4 cloves of garlic, peeled
– 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
– 2 bay leaves
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 teaspoon salt
– Water, enough to cover the ribs
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the pork side ribs. If they aren’t already cut into individual pieces, use a sharp knife to separate them. This will help them cook more evenly and make them easier to eat later on.
2. In a large pot, place the pork side ribs, halved onion, whole garlic cloves, black peppercorns, and bay leaves. These aromatic ingredients will infuse the ribs with rich flavors as they simmer.
3. Add the soy sauce and salt to the pot. The soy sauce will add a deep umami flavor while the salt will help season the ribs to perfection.
4. Pour enough water into the pot to cover the ribs completely. This will ensure that the ribs cook evenly and become tender and juicy.
5. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the water to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the ribs simmer gently. Cover the pot with a lid partially ajar to allow steam to escape.
6. Let the ribs simmer for about 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until they are tender and cooked through. The meat should be falling off the bones and melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
7. Once the ribs are cooked to perfection, remove them from the pot using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving platter. Discard the onion, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns.
8. For an extra touch of flavor, you can brush the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce or glaze and place them under the broiler for a few minutes to caramelize and char slightly.
9. Serve the boiled pork side ribs hot, alongside your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad. These ribs are also perfect for pairing with a cold beer or a glass of your favorite wine.
Enjoy these Boiled Pork Side Ribs with your loved ones and bask in the satisfaction of creating a delicious and comforting meal right in your own kitchen. These ribs are sure to become a staple on your cozy home menu, perfect for any occasion that calls for a little extra warmth and flavor.
