How to Cook Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs

Step 1: Prepare ingredients

Pork ribs: Wash thoroughly, cut into bite-sized pieces (3-4cm). Blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes to remove impurities, then rinse under cold water.

Marinate ribs: Combine ribs with salt, seasoning powder, pepper, and oil. Mix well and marinate for 20 minutes.

Vegetables:

Onion: Peel and slice into wedges.

Bell peppers: Remove seeds, cut into 2cm squares.

Pineapple: Peel, remove eyes, and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Tomato: Wash and slice into wedges.

Shallots and garlic: Peel and mince.

Step 2: Prepare sweet and sour sauce

In a small bowl, mix fish sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, ketchup, and water. Stir until sugar dissolves completely. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 3: Fry ribs

Heat 3 tbsp oil in a pan. Fry ribs over medium heat until golden on both sides (5-7 minutes). Transfer to a plate to drain excess oil.

Step 4: Stir-fry ribs with vegetables and sauce

In the same pan, leave 1 tbsp oil. Sauté shallots and garlic until fragrant. Add onion, bell peppers, pineapple, and tomato. Stir-fry on high heat for 2 minutes to retain crispness.

Pour in the sauce, stir well. Add fried ribs, toss to coat evenly. Simmer on low heat for 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens and clings to ribs.

Step 5: Serve

Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro. Serve hot with steamed rice.
