Singgang Daging - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lbs beef short ribs
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1/4 cup dark soy sauce
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon palm sugar (or substitute) or 1 tablespoon honey

Preparation

Have spareribs cut into individual ribs and short lengths. They are easier to cook and eat this way.
Rub them with garlic, ginger, and salt.
Heat oil in a wok and stir fry for 5 or 6 minutes over high heat until ribs are browned.
Combine all the other ingredients and pour over the ribs.
Bring to boil, then reduce heat to simmer, cover pan and cook until meat on ribs is very tender and liquid reduced.
Uncover, stir in honey or sugar until dissolved.
Serve hot.
*Ribs can be roasted in a preheated moderately hot oven for a few minutes until further glazed and browned.
