pork rib soup

Juicy and meltingly tender pork spare ribs are bathed in the most umami, fragrant pork broth in this delicious Chinese inspired soup. Soba noodles continue the journey into Japan and add a wonderful nutty flavour and soft texture.

Pork Rib Soup with Noodles

2.2 lb pork spare ribs ((1kg))

vegetable oil

scallions ((spring onion) (cut into 4" batons))

celery ((thickly sliced))

ginger

garlic

carrot ((thickly sliced))

soy sauce

tbsp light soy sauce

black peppercorns

star anise

tbsp rice vinegar

salt

oz soba noodles

scallions ((thinly sliced, for garnish))

In a large dutch oven or deep pan, heat the oil until hot and then fry the spare ribs for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the pan.

Clean the pan and fill with about 1 litre of water. Bring to a boil and then drop in the ribs. Cook over a rolling boil for 3-4 minutes to draw out the impurities, then drain the water and rinse the spare ribs.

Wipe clean the pan and add another 2 litres of water. Return the ribs to the pan and add the spring onion, celery, ginger, garlic carrot, soy sauces, peppercorns, star anise and vinegar. 

Bring to a simmer then reduce the heat to very low. Cover the pan and cook for 2 1/2 hours, barely simmering. Season with salt to your liking and remove from the heat. Fish out the ginger and star anise.

Cook as many soba noodles as you need for about 7 minutes and then drain. Arrange the noodles in a deep bowl and ladle over some of the soup broth with the vegetables. Add a few spare ribs too then top with a sprinkling of slices scallions.

Serve hot.
