Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vietnamese Caramelized Pork Ribs.
Step 1
Start by heating a large, heavy skillet or wok over high heat.
Step 2
Once it's nice and hot, pour in the vegetable oil and sprinkle the sugar on top.
Step 3
Keep stirring constantly as the sugar melts, transforming into a beautiful light brown color.
Step 4
Just a heads up—be careful, as that melted sugar can get really hot! Next, add in the pork pieces, along with the vibrant green onions, chopped chile pepper, a dash of black pepper, shallots, garlic, and a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Toss everything together in that luscious caramelized sugar until the pork turns a lovely golden brown.
Step 6
Now, drizzle some fragrant sesame oil over the mixture and reduce the heat to low.
Step 7
Let it simmer gently, allowing those delicious juices to reduce and soak into the pork.
Step 8
Once most of the juices have been absorbed, turn the heat back up to high.
Step 9
Stir the pork and veggies together for about five minutes, until the sauce thickens and beautifully coats the pork.
Step 10
Finally, for a pop of color and flavor, garnish your dish with sliced green onion rings before serving.
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful aroma and flavors of your creation!.
