To me, cooking is an act of discovery–the discovery of combining and pairing ingredients for a remarkably delicious meal. Sometimes, the discovery comes in a disguise and happens by chance, just like this scrumptious dish of Chinese braised pork ribs with daikon and dried oysters (白萝卜蚝干焖排骨).
I developed this pork ribs recipe myself, not intentionally, but rather spontaneously. Sometimes, great things do happen with leftover ingredients in my fridge, in this case, daikon/turnip, pork ribs, dried oysters (previously I used them in my chicken congee/porridge), and dried wolfberries/goji berries.
This is a traditional Chinese recipe. Using low heat to slowly braise and cook the ingredients–preferably with a claypot–this cooking technique retains the natural flavor of the pork ribs while bringing out the sweetness of daikon and the briny taste of dried oysters. And the wolfberries completed the balance and taste of this dish with a tint of fruity sweetness…
While this Chinese pork ribs recipe is probably not fine-dining or restaurant-worthy, it tastes so pleasing and homey that I strongly urge you to try it out.
(My Chinese pork ribs pictures really don’t do justice to my recipe. I mean, how can you make pork ribs+daikon+dried oysters+wolfberries any more photogenic?)

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???

Hazza – I love daikon, it’s very sweet. I love them in soup, in stews, in everything. :)

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. :)

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?

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.
