Recipe: Braised pork ribs with radish, dried scallops and miso

This month, my friend Mich from Piece of Cake is hosting Little Thumbs Up with the theme "soy beans". At home, I rarely cook with soy beans in its raw form, but I do like soy products such as tofu as well as seasonings made from soy beans (miso paste, taucu paste and soy sauce).

Miso paste is something I always have in my fridge. It is a Japanese seasoning made from fermented soy beans. I often use it for miso soup, as my kids love it very much. There are a few types of miso available but the one that I usually use is awasemiso (mixed miso). 


Braised pork ribs with radish, dried scallops and miso

We usually have pork ribs once a week in our home, and for dinner one evening, I made braised pork ribs with radish, dried scallops and miso. This is a soupy version, for a dry version, you can check out my recipe for braised miso pork ribs here.

This is an easy one-pot stew, whereby the pork ribs is cooked for 2 hours, until tender and falling off the bone. The radish and dried scallops will add flavour and sweetness to the soup. A delicious, nourishing and comforting dish.


My kids always give big thumbs up for comforting stews like this!

  7. Hi Yen,

    Me too that I hardly use soy beans for my cooking at home. I use soya milk a lot instead for my baking this month :D

    Like how you fuse Chinese and Japanese ingredients to cook your braised pork ribs. It looks GOOD!
