How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pork ribs
- Choose fresh ribs with a light pink or light red color, and the fat should be translucent white with a slightly ivory hue.
- Avoid choosing pieces of meat that have unusual colors, pale colors, or overly dark colors. If the meat surface is glossy and feels slightly slimy to the touch, it should definitely not be bought.
How to choose quality delicious honey
- You should choose to buy pure honey, which is bright yellow or orange in color.
- You should not buy honey that has turned black, has bubbles on the surface, has a strong spicy smell, and tastes sour and bitter, as this is fermented honey and no longer good for health.
- You can check real and fake honey by dropping a few drops of honey into a glass of plain water; if the drops of honey form a ball, do not dissolve, and sink to the bottom of the glass, then this is real honey.

Prepare the ingredients
The pork ribs you buy should be washed clean. Then, we will mix a solution of water including 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of salt, 2 tablespoons of peppercorns, and enough water to soak the ribs.
Soak the ribs in this mixture for about 3 hours to soften the meat. After soaking for the required time, you take the ribs out, drain the water, and start marinating with spices.
Shallots should be peeled and sliced thinly.
After soaking the ribs, take them out and marinate the ribs with 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate.
You should spread the ribs evenly and directly apply the spices on both surfaces of the ribs. After seasoning, we will wait for about 15 minutes for the meat to absorb the spices evenly.
Effective methods to eliminate the smell of pork ribs
- To eliminate the smell of pork, you need to do the following: before cooking the dishes, blanch the pork in boiling water for about 3 minutes, then rinse the meat with cold water and proceed with further cooking; the meat will no longer have a bad smell and the food will taste better.
- Alternatively, use salt to rub all over the ribs while thoroughly squeezing to remove the sliminess, then rinse several times with water until clean.
- Additionally, you can use white wine to rub multiple times on the meat to reduce the smell and help the meat become softer.

Caramelize Ribs
You will use a pan and the leftover oil from frying the meat to sauté the sliced shallots. We will stir until the shallots turn golden brown. Once they are sufficiently golden, you will add the previously mixed sauce into the pan.
During the caramelization process, remember to keep the heat medium to avoid burning. Wait until this sauce mixture boils and thickens slightly. Then, you will add the meat.
After adding the pork ribs to the pan, remember to turn the ribs regularly. This method will allow the ribs to soak up the seasoning evenly and enhance the color and richness of the caramelized ribs. Next, wait for the liquid to be absorbed into the meat. Thus, we have completed the dish.
