Ingredients
- 3 lbs pork riblets
- 4 garlic cloves chopped finely
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
- 2 tbsp water
garnish
- green onions chopped
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Optional step – Brine and parboil the riblets. Soak the pork riblets in water and salt for 30 minutes. Heat up a pot of water and add the riblets and let it boil for 5 minutes to remove all the impurities.
- Heat up a pan on medium-high heat and add oil. Once the oil is hot enough add the garlic and shallots and fry until light golden brown.
- Add the pork riblets and cook until there is a light golden colour on all sides. I do this for about 6-7 minutes. This will vary depending on your stove.
- Add the dark soy sauce, regular soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, Chinese cooking wine and water. Turn the heat to simmer on medium-low and cover the pot partially. Cook for roughly 30 minutes and keep stirring every 10 minutes.
- Remove the lid and turn the heat to medium. Keep stirring the pork riblets occasionally so it does not burn. Roughly 10 minutes or until all the liquid has evaporated. The Asian pork riblets will be a nice dark colour with a nice glaze.
- Remove from pot and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
