Braised Pork Ribs with Potatoes

About This Recipe

This savory Spicy Braised Spareribs with Potatoes is a mouthwatering dish that combines tender ribs with rich, aromatic flavors. The spareribs are first blanched, then stir-fried with fragrant peppercorns, star anise, ginger, and spicy red peppers for a deep, layered taste. A splash of steamed fish oil and cooking wine enhances the umami richness before the ribs are braised to perfection. Simmered with five-spice powder and water, the ribs become melt-in-your-mouth tender. Diced potatoes, soaked to remove starch, are added later, absorbing the savory sauce while keeping their texture. Finally, a quick high-heat reduction thickens the glaze, and fresh scallions add a bright finish. This dish is a perfect balance of spice, aroma, and comfort—ideal for a hearty family meal. Try it for an unforgettable dining experience!
