Recipe: Chinese Pork Ribs with Daikon and Dried Oysters (白萝卜蚝干焖排骨)
Ingredients:
1/2 pound pork ribs
1 daikon/turnip (medium-sized)
6-8 dried oysters (rinsed and soaked in water for 15 minutes)
1 tablespoon wolfberries/goji berries
1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 cup water
Salt to taste
Sugar to taste
1/2 tablespoon oil
6 cloves shallots (peeled)
Method:
Heat up a wok or claypot (preferred) and add in the oil. Sauté the shallots until slightly aromatic, then add in the dried oysters and daikon. Do a few quick stirs, follow by the pork ribs, rice wine, soy sauce, and water. Lower the heat to between medium and low, and then cover it up with a lid. Braise for about 20-30 minutes or until the water reduces and thickens. Add salt and sugar to taste and serve hot immediately.
Cook’s Notes:
- If you don’t like pork ribs, you can use chicken drumsticks. Just cut the chicken drumsticks into pieces, with bones in.
- You can use Japanese sake if you don’t have Chinese rice wine.

I think you did very well with your pictures, the ribs look very tasty.
Testing.
this looks so nice, I think I will try the chicken version :D
Bee- I like all these things individually but I wouldn’t have thought to put these ingredients together — your dish looks great.
Your site always inspire me to try new stuff! I have never tried daikon before but may just give it a try as this dish looks like it will taste great!
Well said that cooking is an act of discovery, perhaps art of discovery too!
Lovely dish!
this is new to me. I have never thought of pairing pork ribs with daikon before, except for soup. I have to try this out some day…
I love and miss “hou see” so much..! someone send me some..!! and fatt choy pleaseeeee..! muahhaha!!
Hi, is daikon/radish in hokkien called bang kuang???
Anonymous – thanks for your kind words. Some of the ribs dried out before I finished taking the pictures…LOL!
Noobcook – I am sure the chicken version will turn out very nice…not everyone eats pork, but everyone likes chicken. :)
Christine – all together, they are fanstastic. Try it out!
Hazza – I love daikon, it’s very sweet. I love them in soup, in stews, in everything. :)
Cooking Hut – yeah, I agree. A dear friend of mine said I am an artist…hehehehe. Not too sure about me being an artist, but yes, cooking is certainly an art. Amazing!
Mandy – I like this better with steamed rice…the “juice” is soooo good with rice. Drool.
Rex – yes, Chinese New Year is coming, it’s time to stock up some hou see and fatt choy. Hehe.
Anonymous – it’s called “Chai Tau” in Hokkien. It’s white in color and looks like a bigger carrot, but white.
Ooh, that’s interesting! I’ve never tried dried oysters but now I must say I am very, very curious!

it could have been a soup by itself…daikon and dried oysters make a very aromatic and flavourful soup! your version will go very well with rice, no doubt. lovely!
Helen – dried oysters are great for soups and stews, I love them.
Claude – you are correct…Asian dishes are great, I love them. :)
Daphne – you are right, I just need to throw in some “fat choy” to make it CNY-worthy.
Zen Chef – good idea…maybe one day I will be famous and everyone will say it. LOL. Or maybe not. ;)
Ling – yes, I looove dried oysters too, in soup or stews.
Nic – you are right, it was fantastic with rice!! I love it.
this kinda looks like the “stuff” left after drinking up all the soup!..but then again i lick it all clean bcoz the ribs just fall off the bone automatically
looks so delicious…I go nut when I have daikon!
ok.. added to my must try list.. Looks yummy as usual. what other ingredient do you use for test?
looks yummy!
yeah, i get what you mean.. it’s not easy to take a good picture out of such mono-color dish. But you’ve successfully made the dish looks appetising, great job!
Hi RasaMalaysia,
I did not have some of the ingredients and made some adjustments :
1. Streaky pork instead of pork ribs
2. Carrots instead of turnip
3. Dried scallops instead of dried oysters
4. ShaoXing wine instead of rice wine
of course, they tasted good to me! But thanks to you, I now have an extra recipe to use :)
Braised daikon with pork ribs and dried oysters sounds like a rich yummy dish.
