Braised Pork Rib & Taro in Claypot


It may not look nice in the photo, but this dish is absolutely delicious! This dish has been in my must-try list for quite some time. During weekdays when I need to rush to work before 10am, meal must be cooked in 45 mins after sending Jeriel to school. Due to the slow braising process, I had to cancel the plan of cooking this dish several times. I am on leave today so had a little extra time to execute the plan. Do try this out, highly recommended.

At first I thought you added tau chew (yellow bean paste) into the seasoning but no...just soy sauce and chinese wine. Interesting! Might just give it a try but I hardly ever buy pork ribs, I'm scare of chopping it!

I love this dish too. So far only have it in restaurants. Will try this now that I have the recipe, but can only do it on weekend since like you weekday I only have 30-45mins to prepare dinner.

Ching,
I think it could be because of the color, due to the photo editing actually, hehe....We are fortunate that the butcher helps us to chop, so I have pork ribs once in a month.

Ling,
Give it a try, you will like it.
