Vietnamese Caramelized Pork Ribs
Serves 4
Ingredients:
Salt & Vinegar Solution:
1 liter water
1/2 cup white distilled vinegar
1/4 cup salt
2.5 lbs pork spare ribs, cut into 1-2 inch pieces
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 large shallot, minced
1.5 tsp black pepper
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tsp chicken bouillon powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons Vietnamese caramel sauce
2 cups fresh coconut juice (or Coco Rico)
2 Thai chilies
Cooking oil as needed
Garnish
Green onion and chilies
Instructions:
1. In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil, then add salt, distilled vinegar, and the spare ribs. Turn off the heat and let the ribs par-cook for 30 minutes. Rinse them and transfer to a separate bowl.
2. For the marinade, combine half of the minced garlic, half of the minced shallot, black pepper, granulated sugar, chicken bouillon powder, soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, honey, and Vietnamese caramel sauce. Mix well and toss the ribs in this marinade. Allow them to marinate at room temperature for 45 minutes to an hour.
3. When you're ready to cook, drizzle some oil in a pot and fry the remaining minced garlic and shallots over medium-low heat until fragrant.
4. Add the marinated spare ribs, coconut water, and Thai chilies to the pot. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover with a lid, and gently simmer for an hour and 30 minutes.
5. Remove the lid and continue cooking until the liquid reduces and turns into a glaze. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. Finish with chopped green onion and additional black pepper if desired.
