Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork spareribs
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Cut the pork spareribs into individual ribs and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining the soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved.
Pour the marinade over the spareribs, ensuring each rib is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or wok over medium heat.
Remove the spareribs from the marinade, reserving the liquid for later use. Brown the spareribs in the skillet, turning frequently to sear all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet along with the water. Stir to combine.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the ribs simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened to a glossy coating.
Once cooked, remove the spareribs from the skillet and arrange them on a serving platter.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions over the spareribs for garnish.
Serve the Vietnamese Sesame Spareribs hot with steamed rice or as part of a feast. Enjoy!
