Sparerib Soup
Ingredients
9 oz (250g) pork spareribs
1 tsp scallions, chopped, white parts only
5 tsp vegetable oil
1/8 tsp rice wine
3/4 tsp salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp MSG
1/2 tsp fresh ginger, chopped
Directions
- Wash the spareribs and chop into 1 inch
by 2 inch (3cm X 5 cm) pieces.
- Heat the oil in a work over high heat
until the oil surface ripples. Add the
spareribs and stir-fry for 10 minutes,
or until the ribs turn a lighter color
and give off most of their juices. Place
in a heavy casserole with the salt and
ginger. Add 2 1/2 cups (600 ml) of water,
cover and bring to a boil. Boil for 2
hours over high heat, replenishing the
water if necessary. Add the MSG and scallions.
Turn down the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove and serve.
