Garlic Ribs

This recipe for garlic ribs goes against everything I believe in. You wash the ribs to soak all the surface fat and blood and juices that contain the flavor of the ribs. You boil the ribs, which is so wrong that it makes me shudder! THEN! You use garlic powder, real garlic will not give you the proper flavor. The result is restaurant style dry garlic ribs or if you add more brown sugar and thicken some of the boiling liquid with corn starch you have honey garlic ribs. It should not work, but it does.

2 lb pork ribs cut in pieces

2 liters water

1 cup soya sauce

2 tbsp garlic powder

1/4 cup brown sugar (add more to taste if you want a honey garlic)

Rinse the ribs well, and drain, repeat, change the water at least 2 times

Drain the ribs the final time. The water should be almost clear now.

Add 2 liters of water, the soya sauce, garlic powder and brown sugar

bring to a boil, boil for 1 hour.

The ribs should be tender enough to come off the bone if you pull it

If you want honey garlic ribs (there is no honey in it) remove some of the cooking liquid, return it to the heat and thicken with corn starch
