How to make Braised Pork Ribs With Coriander Seeds

Preparation

  1. Toast the coriander seeds slightly on the stove. Use a mortar and pestle to lightly crush the coriander seeds into small pieces. Mix all the marinade ingredients with the crushed coriander seeds.

  2. Place the ribs in a large mixing bowl and cover them with the marinade. Ensure the ribs are completely coated, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Cooking

  1. Pound the white peppercorns, cilantro roots, and garlic into a fine paste using a mortar and pestle.

  2. In a wok, add a little vegetable oil and sauté the garlic paste until it turns golden.

  3. Add the ribs to the wok and pour in just enough water to almost cover them. Cover the wok and simmer on low heat for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the ribs are fork-tender. Stir occasionally and ensure not to boil vigorously.

  4. Once the ribs are tender, increase the heat to high to reduce the sauce until it becomes a rich glaze.
