  • **Optional** Soak Ribs in water 10-30 mins to remove impurities
  • Heat a Large pot or pan to medium and add in 2 tablespoon of oil, then add brown sugar or rock sugar. A large pot works best since we use minimal water to cover the ribs to braise, and need less evaporation time.
    2 tbsp Oil, 3 tbsp Brown Sugar or Rock Sugar - Yellow
  • Use a non stick spatula to stir the sugar until it melts. Let the sugar caramelize just 2-3 minutes. Watch for burning.
  • Once the sugar is melted, Add in the spare ribs in a single layer if possible, and water to cover.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients :  
    ¼ cup Cooking Wine, 2 tbsp Soy Sauce – Low Sodium, 1 tbsp Seasoning Sauce, 2 tbsp Oyster Sauce, 1 tbsp Hoisin Sauce, 2 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce, 4 tbsp Rice Vinegar (Optional), 2 slices Ginger, 4-5 pieces Garlic, 2 pieces Bay Leaves, 2 pieces Star Anise, 1 stick Cinnamon stick, 2 cups Water to cover the ribs, 2 tbsp Honey + more to drizzle on top for a sweeter sauce (optional)
