9. Add an appropriate amount of oil to the hot pot. After the oil is hot, put the large ribs that have been dipped in flour into the pot and fry them.

10. Fry the other side of the steak until it changes color, and fry until both sides are golden.

11. Put all the fried ribs into the pot, then add an appropriate amount of dark soy sauce, water, ginger, and sugar and cook over medium-low heat for about three to five minutes, then add the green onions and stir-fry. Stir fry for a while and it's ready to go.
