Braised Pork Ribs with Taro

Braised Pork Ribs with Taro

This savory Braised Taro with Ribs recipe is a comforting and aromatic dish that combines tender ribs with creamy taro in a rich, flavorful sauce. The ribs are first blanched with ginger and cooking wine to remove impurities, then stir-fried with garlic and ginger until golden. A blend of bean paste, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and five-spice powder adds depth, while star anise infuses a warm, fragrant note. The taro soaks up the delicious braising liquid, becoming melt-in-your-mouth tender after simmering for 30 minutes. Perfect with steamed rice, this dish is a hearty and satisfying meal that highlights the natural sweetness of taro and the umami richness of the ribs. A must-try for lovers of homestyle Chinese cooking!
