Yield: 4-6 Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs pork spare ribs
  • ½ cup h2o
  • ½ cup soy
  • ¼ cup mirin
  • ¼ cup rice wine vin
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp hoisin
  • 2 tbsp (30g) brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp oyster
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 15 g minced ginger
  • 15 g garlic
  • 3 g coriander
  • 3 g white peppercorn
  • 3 g spice
  • 1 tsp (6g) Szechuan chili flake
  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves
  • ¼ cup crushed toasted peanuts
These sweet and spicy Szechuan-style ribs are sticky and tender and pull right off the bone.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Cut rib slabs between bones into individual ribs. Season with salt and pepper and place in cooking pot.
  2. Combine all ingredients for braising liquid in a large bowl and whisk until evenly incorporated.
  3. Pour braising liquid over ribs. Select Braise and set timer for 3 Hours (03:00). Press Start.
  4. After 3 Hours, remove ribs and place on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper or a silicon silpat. Transfer braising liquid to a blender and blend until smooth; this will be the glaze and dipping sauce.
  5. (Optional) Pre-heat broiler to 500.
  6. (Optional) With a basting brush, brush ribs with glaze and broil until crispy, about 8 Minutes.
  7. For serving, arrange ribs on a plate and top with torn fresh mint (or scallions, or both!) and crushed peanuts. Serve with a small ramekin of dipping sauce.
  8. Include standard nutritionals (per serving)
