Instructions:

Prepare the Ribs:

Add Green Tea BBQ Seasonings:

Stir in 3g of the green tea BBQ seasonings and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes。

Thicken the Sauce:

Uncover the pot and increase the heat to high. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking。Cook until the sauce thickens and coats the ribs。
