Just a lovely dish. The ribs are all apart tender. The broth is delightfully flavourful and bright.

kcalIngredients
2 TBSP oil
1 onion, chopped
2-3 lbs pork ribs, sliced into individual pieces
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 tsp ginger powder
1 1/2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp ancho chili powder
3-4 TBSP brown sugar
1/3 cup Sriracha
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp Sambal Oelek
- For the soup:
1 TBSP olive oil
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, sliced thinly
1 inch piece of ginger, grated
1 small Thai red chile
6 cups chicken stock
1 tsp fish sauce
1 TBSP soy sauce
1/2 tsp Sambal Oelek
1/2 tsp sesame oil
Juice of 1 lime, plus more to taste
1 cup cilantro, chopped
2 green onions, sliced
8 oz Chinese egg noodles
Various other optional garnishes: Radishes, Shredded Carrots, Avocados
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325F. Slice ribs into individual pieces and dry with the paper towels; season them with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 TBSP olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, for about 10 minutes. Remove to a plate.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over high heat. Add ribs in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary,) and cook until browned on all sides. When browned season liberally with ginger powder, onion powder, ancho chili powder and 3-4 TBSP brown sugar. Add reserved onions, beer and apple juice. The liquid should not cover the ribs all the way – we are braising, not boiling them. If you feel there’s not enough liquid, fell free to add more.) Bring to boil, cover and move the entire pot to the oven. Bake for 1.5- 2 hours until the ribs are tender and falling apart.
- Mix sriracha, honey and 1 tsp Sambal Oelek. Brush over the ribs. Increase the oven temperature to 375F. Bake the ribs uncovered for 5-7 minutes for the glaze to stick.
- Heat oil in a soup pot. Add mushrooms and cook for 7-10 minutes until browned. Remove to a plate. Add garlic, ginger and chiles to the pot and cook for about a minute. Add stock and bring to a boil. Season with Sambal Oelek, fish sauce, sesame oil and soy sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste. Add the noodles and cook for about 3 minutes, or as per the package instructions. Squeeze a lime into the soup.
- Assemble soup bowls by placing noodles, cilantro and ribs and pouring the stock over. Add all and any other garnishes of choice. Enjoy.
