Fried Garlic Ribs
Description
This recipe starts with soaking and marinating ribs to remove blood and infuse flavor with chopped garlic, ginger slices, light and dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and white pepper. The ribs are then coated with starch before frying to develop a light crispness.
The ribs undergo two frying stages: initial slow frying at 140-150°C until lightly browned and then a quick high-temperature fry at 200°C to crisp the surface and finish cooking. This double-fry technique ensures the ribs are juicy on the inside with a crackly crust.
The dish is served hot, optionally accompanied by a dry spice dip made from salt, chili flakes, and ground cumin, or a spicy chili soy dipping sauce with sesame oil, black vinegar, garlic, and green onion. These contrasting dips offer layered flavors to the savory ribs.
