Vietnamese Pork Ribs Ingredients

Vietnamese Pork Ribs Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1kg Pork Ribs (cut into individual pieces)
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 Shallots (minced)
• 2 tbsp Fish Sauce
• 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 2 tbsp Honey (or sugar)
• 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce
• 1 tbsp Hoisin Sauce
• 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
• 1 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tsp Chili Flakes (optional, for spice)
• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• Fresh Coriander (for garnish)
• Sesame Seeds (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Pork Ribs:

   • In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, shallots, fish sauce, soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using).
   • Add the pork ribs to the marinade and coat them evenly. Cover and let the ribs marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more flavor.

2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

3. Cook the Ribs:

   • Place the marinated ribs on a baking tray lined with foil or parchment paper. Reserve the remaining marinade.
   • Bake the ribs for about 40-50 minutes, turning them halfway through and brushing with the reserved marinade to keep them moist and flavorful.
   • Alternatively, you can grill the ribs on a barbecue or stove-top grill until they are cooked through and slightly charred.

4. Caramelize the Sauce (Optional for more flavor):

   • While the ribs are cooking, heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
   • Add the reserved marinade and cook it for 3-4 minutes until it becomes sticky and caramelized.
   • When the ribs are done, you can brush the caramelized sauce over them for an extra layer of flavor.

5. Serve: Garnish the ribs with fresh coriander and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Serve with steamed rice and fresh vegetables or pickled carrots and daikon for a complete Vietnamese meal.
