Coffee Pork Ribs

I love food that's slightly bitter, like  bitter gourd and bitter chocolate, and anything made with coffee such as coffee cheesecake and coffee candy.

Pork ribs deep-fried and coated with coffee?

Yes, please!

Making coffee pork ribs isn't difficult. The only tricky part is deep-frying the ribs so that the batter is crisp but the meat is still juicy. But it's nothing that can't be nailed after practising a few times.

The sauce for the ribs is made with instant coffee powder, Worcestershire sauce, maltose and sugar. The recipe is from All About Pork Ribs. I like it because it has the right hint of coffee, and it doesn't use any unusual ingredients.

Like a lot of people, I have quite a jaded palette. So I'm always on the lookout off the (culinary) beaten path, hoping to find something exciting. That's why I love the taste of coffee in a savory meat dish. It's unusual, in a very good way.
