Many people blanch ribs directly in a pot when cooking them. However, this practice often results in a stronger fishy smell and a drier texture. In fact, you only need to add one more step to make the ribs soft and delicious, and full of aroma.

Pork ribs are a popular ingredient that is loved by all ages for their ability to be steamed or stewed. In particular, stewed pork ribs, whether they are braised in a braised pork belly, sweet and sour, or stewed into a soup, are extremely delicious.

So, what do you do with stewed ribs? I believe that the first step for many people is to blanch the ribs in a pot. I used to do the same, but I found that blanching alone didn't completely remove the fishy smell of the ribs, and it also made the meat a little dry.

If you're in the same situation, try this tip: go the extra mile before simmering your ribs to make sure your ribs are both soft and mellow.

Next, I will share a way to handle pork ribs, according to this method, you will no longer have to worry about the bad taste of pork ribs.

First, place the chopped ribs in a basin and rinse them twice with clean water to remove impurities and broken bones from the surface. Then add water again, making sure the water completely covers the ribs, and soak for half an hour to drain the blood. After fifteen minutes, gently squeeze the ribs with your hands to allow the blood to drain out, then change the water to continue soaking.

After another 15 minutes, replace the water and wash the ribs, then remove and put them in the pan. Then add cold water to the pot, add the cooking wine and ginger slices at the same time, and bring to a boil over high heat. When the foam appears, it should be skimmed off quickly to avoid the foam from spreading before disposing of it.

Once processed, remove the ribs, wash them in warm water, and drain them for the next cooking step, whether it's braised or sweet and sour or stewed, to ensure that there is no fishy smell.

With this additional soaking step, the blood can be effectively removed, avoiding the fishy smell problem caused by direct blanching.

Now, I'm going to share how to make braised pork ribs, which is not only soft but also fragrant, and if you learn it, you can also show off your cooking skills at holiday dinners.
