A simpler cousin of sesame oil chicken. Pork ribs hold up to the long sesame-and-ginger braise, and this is the kind of dish a Cantonese grandmother makes on a Tuesday without fanfare.

Herbs & safety · 安全

If you prefer no alcohol while breastfeeding, replace Shaoxing with extra hot water and a teaspoon of rice vinegar.

Most of the alcohol cooks off during the boil, but trace amounts can remain. If you are breastfeeding, time feeds two to three hours after eating, or skip the wine.
