I Perfected Salt Pepper Spare Ribs (Tastes Like My Favorite Takeout!)

Показать описание

One of the best deep fried pork spare ribs with salt and pepper you’ll ever make. The secret is in the seasoning mix. Along with a delicious assortment of aromatics like garlic, chilis and ginger. Plus one ingredient that'll blow the lid off of this fantastic Chinese takeout favorite.

INGREDIENTS:
(serves 2)

800g (28oz.) Pork Spare Ribs
3 Large Garlic Cloves
3 Chili Peppers (can substitute with bell peppers)
1 Stalk Spring Onion
1/2 Small Red Onion
2 Cups Cornflour (a.k.a. cornstarch)
1 Inch Ginger
Oil for Frying
1 Lime

Pork Marinade:
2 Tablespoon Chinese Rice Wine
1 Tablespoon Oyster Sauce
1 Tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
2 Teaspoons Sugar
2 Tablespoon Cornflour (a.k.a. cornstarch)
2 Teaspoon Cooking Oil

Seasoning Mix:
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Ground White Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Chinese 5 Spice Powder

Starting off with the pork spare ribs in mixing bowl, add Chinese rice wine, oyster sauce, light soy sauce and mix well for a few minutes. Then add 2 tablespoon cornflour and mix until spare ribs have a milky white outer coating. Finally add 2 teaspoons cooking oil and mix for another minute. Then marinade in refrigerator for 10 - 15 minutes.

Add all seasoning mix together in small bowl and set aside.

Mince garlic, chili peppers, red onion and spring onion. Add everything onto one plate as they all cook the same time.

After pork marinade coat each spare rib with a generous amount of cornflour.

Heat a pot of oil with enough oil to cover pork spare ribs for frying to 350°F (177°C)

I recommend splitting pork spare ribs into 2 batches for frying. When the oil can maintain it’s high heat you get less greasy food results. Fry for about 2 to 2 and half minutes each batch.

After frying both batches turn up the heat a little for about 1 minute.

The oil should be plenty hot. This is the second fry which will give your spare ribs a crispier coating. Again fry in two batches. This second fry should take no more than 20 seconds.

Next we will prepare the aromatics and seasoning for this salt and pepper pork spare ribs! You want to quickly do this while the spare ribs are still piping hot.

Heat a pan on medium heat and add 2 teaspoons of oil. You can use the same oil used to fry spare ribs. Add chopped aromatics and cook for a few minutes. It’s gonna smell real good.

Then add fried pork spare ribs followed by salt and pepper seasoning. Mix and combine well!

Squeeze a bit of lime juice on top and enjoy!
