Roughly chop the garlic and rinse under running water. Drain and set aside.
Soak the ribs in clean water for half an hour to remove the blood water.
Pat dry with kitchen paper and add all the other marinating at least 4 hours or or overnight in fridge.
Before frying, add starch and mix well.
Heat oil until 140 to 150 degree C and slow down the fire. Fry the ribs until slightly browned (may takes 6-10 minutes). Stir from time to time during the process. Transfer out.
Heat the oil until almost smoky (until 200 degree C), place the ribs in and fry for another 20 to 30 seconds. Keep stirring in the second deep-frying process to avoid burnt garlic.
