How to Cook Cabbage-stemmed Spare Ribs
Preparation of Ingredients
500 grams of cabbage, 300 grams of pork spareribs, 100 grams of job's tears, a little salt, 1 section of scallion, 1 small piece of ginger, an appropriate amount of water, and a little white vinegar.
Method and Steps
1. Clean and screen the job's tears, peel the cabbage and cut into large pieces; slice the ginger and cut the scallion diagonally into small sections for later use.
2. Rinse the spareribs and add them to a casserole pot with enough water (about 5 liters). Bring to a boil and carefully scoop out the blood foam with a ladle until the broth is clean and free of impurities.
3. Turn down the heat to a gentle simmer, add 2 drops of white vinegar so that the calcium in the spareribs can be better absorbed by the broth, then add the ginger slices and scallion segments to remove the meaty smell, pour the cleaned job's tears into the pot, cover, and simmer for about 2-3 hours. Add the cabbage 30 minutes before the end and adjust the seasoning with an appropriate amount of salt.
Cooking Tips
1. There are often some small stones mixed in with the job's tears, so pick them out carefully during cleaning.
2. When stewing bone broth, add a few drops of vinegar to help absorb more calcium.
3. Job's tears need a long time to become soft, while cabbage doesn't need to be stewed for a long time, so put the job's tears in the pot first.
