No reviews

Tender Chinese red braised ribs simmered in a rich, sweet-and-savory soy-based sauce with garlic, green onion, and Sichuan peppercorns. A deeply flavorful one-pot comfort dish.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 lb ribs, sliced into individual pieces
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 8 whole garlic cloves
  • 2 to 3 stalks green onion, cut into large sections
  • 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
  • 2 to cups water, enough to mostly cover the ribs

Instructions

  1. Place sliced ribs into a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 3–5 minutes to release impurities.
  2. Drain and rinse ribs thoroughly under cold water.
  3. Transfer ribs to a clean pot. Add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, garlic, green onions, and Sichuan peppercorns.
  4. Pour in enough water to mostly cover the ribs. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and braise for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  6. Once ribs are tender, serve with spoonfuls of the reduced sauce over top.

Notes

  • Add a splash of Chinese cooking wine for deeper flavor.
  • Drizzle sesame oil before serving for richness.
  • For a thicker glaze, let sauce reduce uncovered near the end or add a cornstarch slurry.
  • Best enjoyed with steamed rice or stir-fried greens.
  • Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days and reheat gently on stovetop.
