Braised Pork Ribs Stew

To marinate the pork ribs:
3 pounds of pork ribs, cut into 2 to 3-inch pieces
1 tablespoon cooking food wine
½ teaspoon dark soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoon bajan green seasoning
For the rest of the dish:
2 tablespoons oil
1 slice of ginger, smashed with a cleaver
¼ cup minced shallots
6 cloves garlic, smashed lightly
1 tablespoon cooking wine
2 tablespoons ground bean sauce
2 teaspoons pepper sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon five spice powder
¼ teaspoon fresh ground white pepper
½ teaspoon sesame oil
4 cups low sodium chicken stock
2 scallions, cut into 2-inch pieces

Directions

Combine the ribs with the marinade ingredients and marinate for 20 minutes. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or dutchy pot over medium high heat. Add the smashed ginger and sear the ribs for 1 minute on each side until browned. Turn the heat down to medium and add the shallots and garlic.Stir-fry for another minute and add the wine, ground bean sauce, pepper sauce, soy sauce, salt, five spice powder, white pepper, and sesame oil. Stir-fry the ribs for another minute.Add the chicken stock, bring to a boil, and adjust the heat to a slow simmer.
Cover and cook for 45 minutes, checking and stirring the mixture every 10 minutes. The ribs should be submerged in the liquid at the beginning and the sauce should reduce slightly but still look soupy at the end of the 45 minutes. Once the ribs have been simmering for 45 minutes, they should be tender. There should be quite a bit of standing liquid remaining.Let cook for another 15 minutes, giving everything a gentle stir every 2-3 minutes. If the liquid dries up completely, add another cup of water or chicken stock Stir in the scallions and serve!.
