Cooking Tips:
- Boil the Pork Ribs First: Boiling the pork ribs before cooking them in the sauce ensures that they're cooked through and tender. This also helps to remove any impurities and excess fat from the meat. Be sure to skim off any foam or impurities that float to the top of the water while boiling.
- Use a Non-Stick Pan: To prevent the pork ribs from sticking to the pan, it's best to use a non-stick pan when caramelizing them with brown sugar. A non-stick pan will also help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent burning.
- Adjust the Water Level: The water level should be just enough to cover the pork ribs when adding it to the sauce. This will ensure that the pork ribs cook evenly and are not overcooked. If the pork ribs are not yet tender, you can add more water as needed and continue to simmer until they are cooked through.
- Let the Ribs Rest: After the pork ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the flavors to settle. It will also make it easier to handle and cut the pork ribs into serving pieces.
- Garnish with Fried Garlic or Spring Onions: Adding a garnish of fried garlic or chopped spring onions will enhance the presentation of the dish and add a pop of color. You can fry the garlic in a separate pan until golden brown and crispy or simply chop up some spring onions for a fresh and vibrant touch.
