Recently in China, there’s been a popular trend of using various soft drinks into Chinese cooking - like Coca-Cola chicken wings and Coke-braised eggs. Today, I am making Sprite-braised spare ribs. The lemon note and sweetness of Sprite give the ribs a perfectly balanced flavor, and the citric acidity also makes the meat extra tender and juicy. You gonna love it.

Easy Chinese Sprite Braised Ribs (雪碧排骨)

Mandy Fu

Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

1 hours

Ingredients

680g / 1.5 pounds short pork ribs, about 1.5 inch long pieces
2 Tbsps sugar
4 cloves garlic, peeled
4 slices ginger, sliced thinly
4 scallions
1 cinnamon stick
1 star anise
3 Tbsps soy sauce
1.5 Tbsps of oyster sauce
2 can of sprite (330ml *2)
3 slices of lemon, optional
2 Tbsps diced scallions for garnish
2 tsp toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Directions

Add the pork ribs to a stock pot and fill it with water. Bring it to a boil then fish out the impurities. Remove the ribs to the side.
Add sugar to a clean pot and stir over low heat for 3-4 minutes or until it turns into a deep amber color.
Add the blanched ribs, ginger, garlic, scallions, cinnamon, star anise, soy sauce, and oyster sauce and stir well.
Pour in the Sprite and add a few slices of lemon just to double down on the citrus vibe. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 1 hour or until the ribs are perfectly tender.
Crank up the heat and reduce the sauce until every piece of rib is coated in a thick, glossy, and savory sauce.
Garnish with scallions and toasted sesame seeds, and serve with white rice.
