- Ask to have the pork ribs trimmed to short chunks when you buy it. – Red fermented bean curd will add very special flavor to this dish and it is a very important ingredient in this recipe. But if you do not like the smell or you cannot find it, then leave it out and add a bit more salt to adjust the flavor. – If you like sweet version of pork, add 1 more tablespoon white sugar. – I used wok in this recipe, you could replace it with dutch oven.
