Soak the dried tangerine peel in warm water until soft, then scrape off the white pith and set aside. Blanch the pork spareribs in boiling water for a few minutes, then drain and rinse.
Heat cooking oil in a pot. Sauté the ginger slices, garlic cloves, star anise, and tangerine peel until fragrant.
Add the blanched pork spareribs to the pot and sear until lightly browned.
Pour in the Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce. Stir to coat the spareribs evenly.
Add the rock sugar and water or chicken broth, ensuring the spareribs are mostly submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
Cover the pot and braise the spareribs for 45-50 minutes, or until tender. Stir occasionally.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to reduce the sauce to your desired consistency.
Garnish with chopped spring onions and coriander before serving.
