Braised pork ribs with quail eggs is a classic dish featuring tender, well-seasoned ribs paired with rich, savory quail eggs. Served with hot steamed rice, it’s an irresistible comfort food! Ingredients:
Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse the pork ribs and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Blanch the ribs in boiling water for a few minutes to remove impurities, then rinse with clean water. Boil quail eggs, peel the shells, and set aside.
Marinate the Ribs: Marinate the ribs with fish sauce, sugar, seasoning powder, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and minced shallots for 20 minutes.
Cook the Ribs: Heat oil in a pot, sauté garlic until fragrant. Add the marinated ribs and stir-fry until slightly browned. Pour in caramelized sauce for an appealing golden-brown color. Add fresh coconut water (or water) until the ribs are just submerged. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
Add Quail Eggs: Add the quail eggs to the pot, gently stir to coat them in the sauce. Continue braising on low heat for another 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Serve: Turn off the heat, sprinkle with ground black pepper for extra aroma. Serve hot with steamed rice and fresh cucumber slices.
Tips:
✔ Using fresh coconut water enhances the sweetness and aroma of the dish. ✔ Slow cooking allows the ribs to absorb more flavor. ✔ Add chili for a spicy kick if desired.
