Stewed Pork Ribs with Lemon and Champagne01

Champagne is one of popular sparkling wines used in occasions of celebrations. Whenever I come across champagne, it reminds me of many good and happy moments. As a matter of fact, it’s seldom used in home cooking. Often times, I like to break the rule of cooking by adding some extraordinary ingredients into an ordinary dish to impress my family. Here comes a humble dish of pork rib stew infused by the sweet fragrance of champagne, with a bit of subtle sourness of lemon. You might have tried the popular Chinese dish, lemon chicken before. Would you like to try this new creation?

Note:
  • The champagne helps tenderize the pork ribs and produces soft and juicy texture. And it goes really well with lemon.

  1. This is a new way to serve pork ribs, at least in my household. I could almost smell the lemon aroma.

  2. You're such a talented cook Christine! Who would have thought o combining lemon and champagne. And I love that champagne helps tenderize the meat oh so naturally without the need of powdered preservatives to help tenderize it.

  16. Hi Christine, sorry if it might seemed like a silly question but is it ok for children to eat this dish as it contains alcohol?

    1. The alcohol will be boiled away, just the flavours will be left behind.
      If you're still worried, simply skip the baby champagne.
