When the oil is hot, add 2 tablespoons of sugar, reduce the heat, and cook until the sugar turns a golden brown color (caramel color), then add the marinated pork ribs, stir quickly to coat the meat evenly with the caramel and sear for about 5 minutes.

Cook for another 5 minutes until the braising liquid reduces and the meat and eggs are evenly colored, then taste and adjust the seasoning as needed before turning off the heat.
