Method

  1. Clean the ribs (optional)

    • Combine the ribs with the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, salt, MSG, white pepper and cooking wine.
    • Massage the pork until all the liquid is absorbed into the flesh.
    • Add the garlic and mix, then add the cornstarch and baking powder and mix until every rib is coated in a thick garlicky paste.

  3. Double fry the ribs

    • Heat the neutral oil to 150 °C and fry the ribs in batches until golden brown.
    • Drain on a wire rack and let rest.
    • Heat the oil to 175 °C and fry the ribs again, then drain on the wire rack.

  4. Air fryer method (alternative)
