Fall-off-the-Bone Oriental Pork Baby Back Ribs
Posted by Webmaster under: Recipes .
2 whole baby back ribs of 10 ribs each (Ask Monterey Meat Shop at 40 Katipunan Road, St. Ignatius Village with telephone number 913-6933 to leave a 1/2-inch thick of flesh on ribs to total 2 kilos for this special order.)
3 cups pineapple juice
1 petal star anise (sangke or estrella)
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup honey or dark brown sugar
1 tbsp. rock salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 big head crushed garlic with skin on.
Put above ingredients in a pressure cooker. Pressure cook 30 minutes. Cool before opening the pressure cooker.
Drain. Save the broth to serve as sauce and for brushing pork. For every one cup broth, add 1 tbsp. cornstarch dispersed in 2 tbsps. water. Cook and stir until boiling.
Put baby back ribs over charcoal and cook until brown. If charcoal grill is unavailable, serve as is with cooked vegetables and rice.
Note: If pressure cooker is unavailable, cook in a deep pan. Use 6 cups pineapple juice plus other ingredients, turn to high heat. When it begins to boil, lower the fire, cover and time for one hour. The pineapple juice will help tenderize meat and give a rich flavor.
