For an even richer flavor, consider marinating the pork rib tips for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and a touch of Shaoxing wine. Adjust the amount of rock sugar and vinegar to your preference for sweetness and tanginess. If you don't have rock sugar, you can substitute with regular granulated sugar, but rock sugar offers a more complex sweetness. Serve these glistening pork rib tips with steamed rice and a side of stir-fried vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Prepare the Pan and Aromatics: Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil, followed by ginger slices. (2 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Sear the Pork: Introduce the pork loin rib tips to the hot pan. Stir-fry until the surface of the ribs achieves a beautiful golden-brown hue on all sides. This step is crucial for developing flavor and texture. (5 minutes)
03
Step
10 mins
Braise in Boiling Water: Pour enough boiling water over the ribs to just cover them. Cover the pan with a lid and allow the ribs to cook and tenderize in the simmering liquid. (10 minutes)
04
Step
12 mins
Reduce and Concentrate Flavors: Remove the lid and continue cooking until the water is almost entirely absorbed, allowing the sauce to concentrate and cling to the ribs. Be vigilant to prevent burning. (5-20 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Create the Glaze: Add rock sugar, white vinegar, and soy sauce to the pan. Stir continuously until all ingredients are well combined, and the sauce thickens into a luscious glaze that coats the pork. (1-2 minutes)

Jun 23, 2025I've made this several times now, and it's always a hit. I like to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
