Stewing ribs is a popular way of cooking by slow-cooking them to make the meat tender and the soup rich.

The three recommended seasonings to put in are:

Ginger: Ginger removes the fishy flavor of the ribs.

Big spices: including star anise, cinnamon and sesame leaves.

Salt: Salt is an important seasoning.

The three seasonings that are not recommended to be put in are:

Cooking wine: it removes the fishy flavor and leaves behind the strange taste.

Vinegar: vinegar is not suitable for braising with ribs.

Thirteen spice: Thirteen spice's masks the flavor of the ribs themselves.

My personal advice to stewing ribs three to put three not to put the advice.
