Braised Pork Ribs in Black Bean (Teochew Style)

Braised Pork!!
Braised pork ribs is one of my all time favorite dish cooked by my dad. Yes, Aaron's dad can cook too! A pretty cook as well and I learnt a lot from him.

This is a pretty simple dish and I think there is a bit of "TeoChew" (a Chinese dialect) style in it because my dad is a TeoChew. I have this chance to cook this dish with my dad recently and I would like to share with you all and I bet you will love it as I do!! =)

Ingredients:
Pork Ribs (1kg)
3 Chilli Padis or Dried Chillies (depending on how spicy you like it)
750ml to 1000ml of water
1 Tsp Corn Starch (to thicken the gravy)

Black Beans
Plum Sauce
Seasoning:
2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
1 Tbsp Plum Sauce
1 Tbsp "Sweet" Sauce (甜酱)
1 Tsp of Black Beans (crushed)
1 Tsp of Black Beans Sauce

Oyster sauce
Directions:
1. Marinate the pork with all seasonings and keep it aside for an hour.
2. Pour in water and chillies and let it boil under high heat.
3. Once it starts boiling, reduce to low fire.
4. Add water if necessary.
5. Let it boils for an hour or until the meat turn soft. (If you are using pressure cooker it will be much faster)
6. Add corn starch and stir.
7. Garnish with coriander leaves (optional) and serve!!

This is really a simple dish and you can try using chicken (preferably breast meat) too!! Enjoy~!!
