Tips
- Colouring ribs with sugar are much better than using soy source. It would look better and taste better. However, when you fry with sugar for coloring, make sure don’t cook too long. Otherwise, it would burn.
- You should choose ribs with more meat. If it combines fat and lean meat, it would be better.
- In the last step, boil until the soup thicken. At the same time, stir-fry the ribs to ensure each part has the same color and taste.
