Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lbs country style pork ribs
- 5 cups water
- 2 cups chicken broth reduced to 1.5 cups
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2/3 tbsp dry Sherry
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 head garlic, halved crosswise
- 3 cinnamon sticks, 3 inches each
- 1 whole star anise
- 5 1/2 ozs chow mein noodles
- Garnish: chopped cilantro, sliced scallions
Directions
Gently simmer all ingredients except noodles in a 6-quart heavy pot, covered, skimming as needed, until pork is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Transfer pork to a bowl. Discard bones, spices, and garlic. Coarsely shred meat. Skim fat from broth, then return meat and bring to a simmer. Add noodles, then stir into broth and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender, about 6 minutes.
