Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Pat dry the pork ribs with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper on all sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork ribs in batches until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, red chili flakes, paprika, and ground cumin. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste, canned diced tomatoes, and soy sauce. Mix well to combine.
Add the brown sugar and chicken stock, stirring to create a rich and flavorful sauce.
Nestle the seared pork ribs into the sauce, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the ribs are tender and falling off the bone.
Remove the skillet from the oven, uncover, and taste the sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Sprinkle the finished dish with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the spicy tomato and garlic sauce.
