Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork spareribs
- 6 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Cold water
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the pork spareribs into individual ribs. Trim any excess fat if needed.
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Sear the spareribs until lightly browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife (no need to finely chop), and add them to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, ketchup, and water. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Pour the sauce mixture over the spareribs. Stir to coat the ribs evenly in the sauce.
Bring to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Allow the ribs to cook for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The sauce will reduce and the ribs will become tender.
Check the ribs after an hour. If the sauce is reducing too quickly, you can add a splash of water to maintain the consistency.
When the ribs are fork-tender, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl to make a slurry.
Gradually stir the slurry into the simmering sauce to thicken it. Cook for another 5 minutes until the sauce becomes glossy and clings to the ribs.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary (e.g., add a pinch more brown sugar for sweetness or a splash of vinegar for tanginess).
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, before serving.
