Spicy Spareribs Recipe(Chinese Recipe) |
Ingredients: |
1 kg Chinese-style pork spareribs 1 egg, beaten 2-3 tablespoons plain (all-purpose) flour Oil for deep-frying 2 scallions, finely chopped 2 small red chilies, finely chopped Marinade: ½ teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorns ½ teaspoon five-spice powder ½ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon light soy sauce 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine ¼ teaspoon roasted sesame oil |
Method: Ask the butcher to cut the slab of spareribs crosswise into thirds that measure 4-5 cm in length, or use a cleaver to do so yourself. Cut the ribs between the bones to separate them. To make the marinade, combine the ingredients in a bowl. Add the ribs and toss lightly. Marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Mix the egg, flour and a little water to form a smooth batter the consistency of thickened cream. Fill a wok one-quarter full of oil. Heat the oil to 180 degrees Celsius, or until a piece of bread fries golden brown in 15 seconds when dropped in the oil. Dip the ribs in the batter and fry in batches for 5 minutes until they are crisp and golden, stirring to separate them, then remove and drain. Reheat the oil and fry the ribs for 2 minutes to darken the color. Remove and drain on paper towels. Soak the scallions and chilies in the hot oil (with the heat off) for 2 minutes. Remove with a wire strainer or slotted spoon and sprinkle over the ribs. Serve. |
