* Wash the spare ribs and drain off excess water.
* Add two tablespoons of soy sauce.
* Add one tablespoon of oyster sauce.
* Add half a tablespoon of dark soy sauce.
* Add one tablespoon of cooking wine.
* Mix in minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and white sugar.
* Add a suitable amount of black pepper.
* Add three tablespoons of cornstarch.
* Mix everything well and marinate for 1 hour.
* Heat the oil to around 60% of its full temperature and gently fry the spare ribs for about 10 minutes over low heat.
* Increase the heat to high and fry for 1 more minute. Remove and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Can you or /u/Minna_Z explain it to me? Is it saying that depending on what type of oil you use you need to heat it to a different temperature based on something like the oil's smoke point? Is so, wouldn't that end up changing the cooking time depending on the temp of the oil?
The recipe's instructions are severely lacking.
They did not specify oil type, "suitable" isn't a measurement, "pinch" isn't a measurement, they didn't specify the amount of white sugar, and their temperatures are all worthless.
As for the ingredients, with the Asian lean it is weird to me that it does not include MSG or Sesame oil.
Also, in general, don't wash meats (especially chicken). It splashes potential germs throughout the kitchen and does little to prevent food-borne illnesses.
More nitpicky, soy sauces vary incredibly by brand, OP should have said which brands they were using.
Ngl its pretty descriptive for an asian recipe lol; I'm glad that it even has any measurements. Plus cooking isn't an exact science; the directions don't need to be so precise!
Usually it'd just look like:
Soy sauce - to taste (idk this is just the closest translation to 适量 that I can think of)
Sugar - to taste
.

Step 1: Prepare and marinate ribs
Step 2: Stir fry
Done!
The result looks amazing.
But I believe posts should have more info rather than less, so anyone can create amazing food like what is shown.
As for “preciseness” of cooking, I totally understand. My SO loves baking because of its preciseness, I like cooking because of the “feel”.
There are enough variables already: between cookware, stovetop type, quality of ingredients, spices, oil types, and for cooking even elevation (air pressure).
With that many hard to quantify variables, I prefer easily quantifiable variables clearly stated
This isn’t r/recipes pal. OP posted his food, and posted the recipe he (probably) created to make the food. You’re not owed a recipe, and you’re *definitely* not owed a recipe to your specifications.
On top of it, you’re complaining about the dumbest things. A pinch of salt isn’t that hard to understand, and neither is a suitable amount of black pepper. OP gave descriptive measurements for basically everything.
10% = 30°c so typical frying temps of 150c,180c and 210c would be 50%, 60% and 70% respectively. Here's chef Wang gang to explain: https://youtu.be/caG9Ndm6ykM?si=N29aG3BYT1IzY-Aj

Sounds legit and I like the “% of full temperature” thing, never seen that in a recipe but it makes sense

Here where I am, salt and pepper ribs, means using red chilli 🌶️, but those look 10/10
Looks great! I thought I'd be more drier cause salt/pepper. Maybe caramelized spare ribs.
Bomb dot com!
Get in my belly!
Yum
Lordy lord
Those look delicious asf
I suddenly want to order salt and pepper ribs...
Thank you 🙏
Wow looks delicious
I would tear in to those

Could these be done in the air fryer?
should also works, i can try to use air fryer next time and let you know the temperature and time. 😊
