Braising is extensively used in Asian cuisines.
Braised meat or vegetables are usually simmered in soy sauce, rice wine and other seasonings.
But instead of the rice wine or cooking wine, I made use of pineapple juice, which added a real nice flavor to the meat. I like making use of pineapple to some of my cooking.
And like any other braised dish, this makes for a great leftover. It's more tasty the day after. Simply put it in an airtight container and store in the freezer, then just reheat. But much as I would want to store some in the fridge, we can't help but to have some more serving until there's none left.
This braised meat is perfect with hot steaming rice.
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup pineapple juice
1/4 tsp ground peppercorn
2 bay leaves
3 star anise
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp grated ginger
2 cups water
2 tbsp oil
sesame seeds or leeeks, for garnishing (optional)
Procedure:
- Cut the spare ribs between the bone. Wash. Drain.Set Aside.
- In a pan, heat oil. Brown the pork ribs, both sides.
- Add in garlic and ginger.
- Put all the ingredients. Lower the heat. Cover.
- Let simmer for 45minutes to 1 hr or until the meat is tender. Add some water if needed.
- The minced onions also gives a nice thickness to the sauce. When done cooking, there should be a little sauce left (but my daughter loves the sauce, so she wants more of it).
- Garnish with spring onions, leaks, sesame seeds ~ whatever you prefer. I added pineapple chunks.
- This serves 6-8 persons. Enjoy!

Nice recipe...the addition of pineapple juice is something different.
Thanks Jay and Shobha! Have a great weekend!
Great recipe with a different twist. Thanks for sharing!

This looks and sounds absolutely delicious. I read from an article/cookbook before (forgot where) that the pineapple juice tenderizes the meat besides adding more flavor. :) Thanks for sharing your recipe.

This is delicious.I used less vinegar and more of the pineapple juice.after browning the meat, i let it simmer over low fire.It was amazing.Will make this again.
You're right Amy, pineapple juice also tenderizes the meat, and is also perfect for marinating meats. And not to mention it's many health benefit! A wonder fruit indeed.
Hi Alisa! Glad you liked it. You may even reduce the water, and add in more pineapple juice.
Braised beef is always one of my top favorite!
