Tips
- If you use a pressure cooker, you should not add too much water to stew the ribs, because the pressure cooker hardly loses any water. Of course, if you want to drink pork rib soup, feel free to do so! For an ordinary pressure cooker, just use the usual amount of water for stewing ribs, of course you can also add more;
- Pork ribs soup can be used to cook noodles and porridge, it is very flavorful! Can be frozen and stored;
- Adjust the amounts of tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt, and light soy sauce according to personal taste. If you like sourness, add more ketchup and vinegar, and less sugar; if you like a darker color, add more light soy sauce and ketchup... You can taste it during the cooking process and add more as appropriate;
- When stewing the ribs in the pressure cooker, just add a little salt, otherwise the pork rib soup will be too salty! The ribs still need to be processed and seasoned later.
