Before we begin, the ingredients we need for our Braised Spare Ribs Recipe are salt, pepper, oil, garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, mirin, sake, instant dashi or chicken bullion, green onion for garnish, and of course, spare ribs. Some of the ingredients like sake, mirin, and instant dashi can only be bought from specific aisles in grocery stores so you might have to really look for them there. Alright! Now that we have everything that we need, let’s get to cooking!
The first thing that we have to do is to prepare the spare ribs. Make sure to use a sharp knife and separate each rib from one another for better cooking. Also, see to it that the ribs are thoroughly washed to remove some excess debris. Next, prepare a large pot of water and let it boil. Then, add the spare ribs and let it cook for about three (3) to four (4) minutes to help remove excess fats and blood from the meat itself. Once you’ve done this, strain the ribs in the sink and set them aside for a while.
Now, prepare a wide skillet and pour a generous amount of oil over medium heat. Just enough to coat the spare ribs. Once it’s hot, fry the ribs with garlic until it becomes nicely browned on both sides or develops a fine crust. While the ribs are browning over the skillet, we can use the time to prepare the delicious sauce. To do this, simply mix salt, pepper, dashi, brown sugar, soy sauce, mirin, sake, vinegar, and water that’s enough to cover the spare ribs. Remember, the water will eventually evaporate so make sure to leave a little bit of allowance, alright? Mix all of these ingredients together until every flavor is well-incorporated into each other.
We’re almost done! Now, once the spare ribs are browned and ready, simply add them to the mixture of sauces and water. Next, cover the pot and let it simmer for about one (1) to two (2) hours until the sauce is reduced and the meat is already tender and falls off the bone! Oh, and just a final reminder. Make sure to occasionally watch the water level because the meat might burn if left unattended.
