Char Siew Ribs

This is Mum's recipe for char siew ribs, easy to make and good to eat. The boys love it! They finished   all of it, and I only got a small piece to taste!!


Ingredients:
500g pork ribs (I used the soft bone ones)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tbsp 红藻 (ang zhao)  (for colour, replace 烧腊粉)
1 tbsp light soy sauce
80g sugar (adjust to taste)
1tsp salt

Method:

Marinate meat for a few hours

Heat oil and saute the meat (without marinate)

Add some water (about 1/3C) to marinate and add to pot (enough to cover meat)

--> go to * if cooking over stove top

Pressure cook for 20min (meat function)

Manual release of pressure.

Remove excess gravy.

Saute mode (low): fry until gravy dries up 

*If cooking over stove-top:

Allow to liquid boil and then put on low fire to simmer (about 20min).

Remove excess gravy and fry until remaining gravy dries up and the meat caramelises.

Bring the excess gravy to a slow simmer until it thickens. Use over rice or dipping sauce for meat.
