Claypot Pork Ribs
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 lbs pork ribs, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 2 tbsp soy sauce
– 1 tbsp oyster sauce
– 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
– 1 tsp sesame oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1-inch ginger, sliced
– 1 onion, sliced
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 carrot, sliced
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 tbsp cornstarch (mixed with 2 tbsp water)
– Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, marinate the pork ribs with soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
2. Heat a claypot over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger, and sauté until fragrant.
3. Add the marinated pork ribs into the claypot and sear them until they are browned on all sides. This step will help enhance the flavors of the dish.
4. Next, add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and carrot to the claypot. Stir everything together to combine the ingredients.
5. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan and bring everything to a simmer. Cover the claypot with a lid and let it cook for about 45-50 minutes, or until the pork ribs are tender and cooked through.
6. Once the pork ribs are cooked, stir in the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce. Allow it to simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the sauce has reached your desired consistency.
7. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more soy sauce or salt to taste.
8. Serve the Claypot Pork Ribs hot, garnished with chopped green onions. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or a side of vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
