Chinese Braised Ribs

With Chinese New Year right around the corner (Monday, February 8th) what better way to celebrate this occasion,  then with some fall off the bone, flavorful, easy to make, Chinese Ribs.

I was in the mood for something different last night for dinner when I decided to make these ribs.  I hadn’t had them in a very long time.  What a great surprise to see my daughter Jenny go back 2 times for more ribs.  These really are “finger lickin’ good”!

Place 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a skillet or or dutch oven skillet with oil.  Add ribs and brown on all sides over medium high heat.  Deglaze  ribs with 1 ¼ cups of your favorite Sake….I used DSC_0003

Add ½ cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of ginger, and ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes.

Cover pan and reduce heat to simmer for 2 hours or until the meat pulls away easily from the bones.

Remove ribs from skillet and place on a sheet pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
