Braised Pork Ribs in Soy Sauce

This succulent and aromatic braised ribs recipe delivers fall-off-the-bone tenderness with deep, caramelized flavors. Start by blanching the ribs to ensure a clean, rich broth, then stir-fry them with cooking wine, soy sauce, and sugar for a glossy, caramelized sear. The magic lies in the fragrant spice blend—cinnamon, cloves, fennel, and bay leaves—combined with savory bean paste, garlic, and scallions for an umami-packed depth. Cooked to perfection in an electric pressure cooker (or slow-simmered for melt-in-your-mouth tenderness), the ribs absorb every layer of spice before a final reduction in the wok for a luscious, sticky glaze. Perfectly balanced between sweet and savory, this dish is a crowd-pleaser with minimal effort and maximum flavor. Serve over rice or noodles to soak up every last drop of the rich, spiced sauce.
