How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose good pork ribs
- You should choose ribs that are of moderate size, with bright red or pink meat, and have a good elasticity when pressed.
- For this dish, you should choose ribs with a little fat so that the broth has an appealing rich flavor.
- Do not choose pork ribs that are slimy, have too pale or too dark meat color, or have an unusual rotten smell as these are poor quality ribs.
How to choose fresh, delicious tomatoes
- Fresh, delicious tomatoes will have an intact skin, bright red color, plumpness, even color, and no scratches.
- You should choose tomatoes that have a light fragrant smell, a fresh green stem that is tightly attached to the fruit, and yellow seeds.
- Avoid buying tomatoes with stems that have detached from the fruit, green seeds, and no fragrant smell, as these are low-quality tomatoes that are not fresh.
How to choose fresh pineapples
- You should choose pineapples with an eye-catching yellow color mixed with green, slightly round shape, short fruit, and the larger the eyes, the better.
- Good pineapples will have a naturally sweet fragrance, and when touched, they should have a moderate softness and slightly wrinkled skin.
- Avoid choosing pineapples that feel hard, heavy, have an overpowering scent, or have skin mixed with dark brown, as these are not fresh and will affect the flavor when cooked.

Marinate the ribs and sausage
Place the ribs on a clean plate and season with 1 spoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of MSG, and 1 teaspoon of fish sauce. Mix well to let the pork ribs absorb the spices.
Next, use scissors to cut the green onion tops into the bowl containing the sausage mixture. Then season with 20g of fried garlic and 1 teaspoon of pepper into the sausage mixture. Mix well for all the ingredients to blend together. Marinate the ribs and sausage for about 15 – 20 minutes.

Prepare the broth
After sautéing the ribs, tomatoes, and pineapple, add 750ml of water to the pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Once the water boils, place the tamarind in a strainer and add it to the broth, using a pair of chopsticks to mash the tamarind until it releases its juice and blends into the broth, discarding the tamarind pulp.
Next, season with 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, stirring well and continuing to simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, use a spoon to scoop out the marinated pork paste in small pieces and add it to the pot. Add half of the remaining tomatoes and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Then, adjust the seasoning to taste and turn off the heat.
