Description
Delicious and sticky honey garlic spare ribs, perfect for gatherings and family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds side ribs (spare ribs)
- 1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine
- 1 egg white
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ½ cup tapioca starch
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the pork ribs and marinade ingredients. Massage the meat for 30 seconds. Transfer the ribs to the fridge for 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine the cornstarch, tapioca starch, and baking powder.
- Remove the ribs from the fridge and mix again to redistribute the marinade. Working one rib at a time, coat the rib in the starch mixture. Set aside on a baking sheet.
- Heat 1 inch of oil to 350°F. Cook the ribs in two batches for 5-6 minutes until crispy and brown on the outside. Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.
- In a large pan, heat one tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 20-30 seconds until it smells fragrant. Add the sauce mixture and cook until it starts to bubble. Add the ribs and toss to coat evenly. Enjoy!
