Material preparation: 1 fresh lettuce; Half a catty of ribs; Ginger; Oil; The right amount of salt.

1. Wash the ribs and blanch them with boiling water; Peel lettuce and cut it into dices; Shred ginger.

2. Heat the wok, pour the clear oil, pour the ginger slices after the oil is hot, and saute; Then pour in the ribs and stir fry; Stir fry for about five to eight minutes. When the surface of the ribs is slightly brown, add a bowl of water (the amount of water should not exceed the surface of the ribs), bring to a boil with high fire, then turn to medium-low heat, cover the pot and stew.

After stewing for about half an hour, the soup in the pot is only half. At this time, add the sliced lettuce and the right amount of salt, and stir-fry evenly with the ribs.

4. Put the lettuce ribs in the wok into the casserole, cover the pot, and stew 15 for about 20 minutes, so that the lettuce can fully eat the soup and taste.

Tips:

When cooking this dish, pay great attention to the cooking temperature of lettuce and ribs. If lettuce is added too early, or there is too much ribs soup left, the lettuce will be stewed too soft and rotten, which will affect the taste.

Because the lettuce is added last, and the cooking time is not long, it is best to stew it in casserole in the last step, so as to fully absorb the flavor of the ribs broth.
