Caramelized Pork Rib 焦糖排骨


This one of my all-time favourite. My husband said it looks like the Roasted Ribs 红烧排骨 that one of the stalls sells in the coffeeshop at my place. ;)

I have made this less dry and without the 'burn' bits we all like. It's with a coating of sweet caramelized sweet sauce instead.


Ingredients:
  • 700g Meaty Pork Ribs, slightly fatty preferred
  • Sesame Seeds, optional

Marinade:
  • 5 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
  • 4 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 3 tablespoon Chinese Cooking Wine
  • 2 tablespoon Apple Cider
  • 2 tablespoon Tomato Sauce
  • 40ml Water 

How to do it:
  1. Place ribs in a deep baking dish with the marinade.
  2. Cover with foil and bake at 190C for 1 1/2 hours.
  3. Bast with sauce in-between baking.
  4. Remove ribs and place on a rack. Retain sauce.
  5. Bast generously with the sauce and continue to bake for another 10 minutes.
  6. Repeat twice.
  7. Sprinkle roasted sesame seed and serve immediately.

Note:
I cut the slab of rib individually. You can cook using the whole slab of ribs instead if you like.

  3. @Wxin, then you will take time to enjoy it too. :) Sure, it works with pork chop but personally I think it will be with Pork Loin as Char Siew.

  5. Hi WokkingMum,

    I do not have apple cider at home. Can I omit it or can I replace it with something else?

    Thanks!!

  6. @Anon, Replace it with 1 1/2 tbsp of white vinegar instead.

  7. What exactly is Chinese cooking wine? I don't know what I'm looking for when I go to the grocery store. I could only find rice vinegar.

    1. Chinese cooking wine can be Shao Xin Hua Tiao Wine. You can Mei Gui (rose) Lu, a Chinese Rose Wine too. If you can't get Chinese Cooking Wine. You can use Japanese Sake or Sherry too. They work too. :)
