Ingredients
- 1 pound pork ribs (spare ribs, baby ribs) (450g)
- Shallots (or ginger, scallions) (for parboiling)
- 1 tbsp fish sauce (to your taste)
- ½ tbsp soy sauce (to your taste)
- ½ tbsp sugar (to your taste)
- ½ tbsp sriracha chili sauce (to your taste)
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (to your taste)
- 1 tbsp minced shallots (for the marinade)
- 1 tbsp minced garlic (for the marinade)
- ½ tbsp cooking oil
- Vietnamese Caramel Sauce (Molasses/Dark Soy Sauce) (optional, just for the color)
- coconut water (optional, you could use normal water, Coco Rico, Coke or 7-UP)
Instructions
- Fill a pot with water, enough to cover the ribs once added. Add some salt and sliced shallots (or ginger and scallions). Bring to a boil, then add the ribs. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until all the scum rises to the surface. Drain the ribs and rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Combine fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Sriracha, sugar, minced shallots, and garlic to create a marinade. Coat the pork ribs with this mixture and let them sit for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat cooking oil in a skillet (stainless steel is recommended). Sear the pork ribs over medium heat until all sides are nicely browned.
- Add water (or coconut water) to cover the pork ribs halfway. Cover the pot and let it simmer on medium-low heat for 15-40 minutes:- For a firmer texture (as preferred in Vietnamese cuisine), simmer for 20 minutes.- For tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs, extend the cooking time to 35-40 minutes.
- If the ribs haven't caramelized to your liking, stir in some Vietnamese caramel sauce, molasses, or dark soy sauce.
- Once done, uncover the skillet, adjust the seasoning with additional fish sauce and sugar if needed, and cook over medium-high heat until the sauce reduces and forms a glossy glaze.
- Serve the caramelized pork ribs with steamed jasmine rice or sticky rice for a delicious meal.
