How to choose fresh and delicious pork ribs
- Choose pork ribs that are light pink in color, and when pressed, they should have good elasticity.
- Additionally, select pieces with thick lean meat and little fat, as they will be tastier and more tender when fried, less greasy.
- For packaged and frozen pork ribs, be sure to check the origin and expiration date carefully.
- Avoid purchasing ribs that are bruised, have a slimy texture, or an unpleasant smell.

Prepare the pork ribs
To remove dirt and odor, after buying the pork ribs, you should rub them with a little salt and the juice of 1 lemon to eliminate the smell, then rinse with clean water and let them drain.
To help the meat become tender and absorb the seasoning evenly, you can use a knife or a meat tenderizer to gently pound the meat evenly.
How to clean and deodorize pork ribs
- Method 1: Add salt to the ribs and massage for about 2 – 3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
- Method 2: Using rice vinegar or white wine can also help eliminate the smell of the ribs.
- Method 3: Blanch the ribs in boiling water with a few crushed ginger slices, then rinse with water.

Braised ribs
Heat a pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and heat, then pour in the marinated ribs. Fry the ribs on both sides over medium heat until they are browned.
Next, add 200ml of fresh coconut water to the pan, bring to a boil, then add 1 tablespoon of sugar, lower the heat, and continue to braise for about 10 – 15 minutes until the liquid reduces and thickens, allowing the meat to absorb the spices and develop a nice brown color, then turn off the heat.
