红糟排骨 - Revisited

This is a improved version of what I last did in 2008! Ingredients are the same except I've added more wine for this time round. This dish is great for mother after birth! So when my hubby saw me simmering the pot of ribs this morning, he suggested to give it to his best friend whom his wife is still under confinement! Off it goes a pot of flavourful fermented rice residue pork ribs :) Hopefully the mother will enjoy this dish! :D

line spring onion on the base of a pot, place in pork ribs

 add in water & wine just enough to submerge the meat

This is a lovely bottle of Chinese Wine called '汾酒', a gift from my hubby' client when he went on business trip few weeks ago! It is a pure white distilled hard liquor with alcohol content of 53%!! Smell it also can get drunk hahahaha....No we do not intend to consume this directly >.< so my hubby has passed this to me for use in cooking instead!!

lovely cravings on the bottle...
