Ingredients:
2 1/2 pounds country-style pork ribs |
6 cups water |
2/3 cup soy sauce |
2/3 cup chinese shaoxing wine or medium-dry sherry |
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar |
1 head garlic, halved crosswise |
3 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks |
1 whole star anise |
5 1/2 ounces bean thread (cellophane) noodles |
garnish: chopped cilantro; sliced scallions |
Directions:
1. Gently simmer all ingredients except noodles in a 6-quart heavy pot, covered, skimming as needed, until pork is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. 2. Transfer pork to a bowl. Discard bones, spices, and garlic. Coarsely shred meat. Skim fat from broth, then return meat and bring to a simmer. Rinse noodles, then stir into broth and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until noodles are translucent and tender, about 6 minutes. |
