Braised Pork Spare Ribs with Orange Juice

May 16, 2013 By Lokness 15 Comments

666B6353

Another braised dish! Yea! I really like this one. The flavors are different and unique. The meat was braised until super tender and fell off the bones. With that sweet and savory orange sauce, every bite was incredible. Bryan and I ate more rice than normal too, because the sauce was too damn amazing!

If you can get some sweet oranges and pork spare ribs today, I urge you to make this dish. Pork spare ribs maybe a bit harder to find. Bristol Farms didn’t have them, but they said that they can order them which may take a week. I got mine from Ralph’s and I had the butcher cut it into individual ribs. Hope you will find them!

Braised Pork Spare Ribs with Orange Juice (Adapted from Christine’s Recipes)

2 servings

Ingredients:

–   2 pounds pork spare ribs (St. Louis style ribs)

–   kosher salt

–   ground white pepper

–   1 teaspoon grated ginger

–   1 teaspoon minced garlic

–   3 teaspoons dry white wine

–   oil

Orange Sauce:

–   1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice (about 4 medium navel oranges)

–   ¾ teaspoon orange zest

–   1 cup chicken broth

–   2 tablespoons soy sauce

–   2 tablespoons light brown sugar

Directions:

  1. Wash and clean the spare ribs with water. Dry with paper towels. Cut to separate the ribs. Season with salt and white pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a large pot over medium-high heat, add all the ingredients for the orange sauce. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large pan over medium heat, heat up 1 tablespoon oil. Sear the ribs on all sides until golden brown. Move the ribs on the side and stir in the garlic and ginger. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine and mix well with the ribs.
  4. Put the ribs, garlic, and ginger in the orange sauce. Cover the pot with a lid. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to simmer and cook for 2 hours until the ribs are dark brown in color and meat can easily fall off the bones. Turn the ribs every once a while to ensure even cooking. At the last 15 minutes of cooking, the sauce should be thickening up like syrup. If not, remove the lid and let it reduce. If the sauce is too thick, add little water. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with hot steamed rice.

Tips:

  1. Use sweet oranges. You can have 1 not-too-sweet orange. But if too many, the dish will be sour.
  2. Sieve the orange juice to remove pulp before using.

    This looks absolutely gorgeous – myhubby LOVES pork and my son LOVES ribs. I reckon I’ll be their favourite person if I cook them this (I should already be their favourite person, but I can’t play football!).

      Thanks, Anne. I love that the orange juice got thicken a bit at the end and turned into a glaze. And you can taste the sweet orange in every bite of the pork. Love it. 🙂

    I love citrus with my meat. The sweet and tangy flavors are really wonderful with the savory meat. 🙂 These Braised pork spare ribs with orange juice sound wonderful and finger licking good!

Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango p Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango pudding every summer. That creamy & soft pudding is loaded w/ tons of fresh mangoes. My version is pretty much the same, but I switch out the mango-flavored gelatin mix for fresh mangoes. It tastes incredible & brings me back to my childhood right away! It was the perfect dessert when I was a kid, and it’s still the most satisfying dessert today! 🥭

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
