  Prepare the Ingredients

  Wash the pork ribs thoroughly after purchasing. Then, we will mix a solution of water that includes 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 them. After soaking for the required time, take the ribs out and pat them dry before starting to marinate with spices.

  Peel and slice the shallots thinly.

  After soaking the ribs, remove them and marinate with 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate.

  You should evenly spread the ribs and apply the spices directly on both surfaces of the ribs. After seasoning, we will wait for 15 minutes for the meat to absorb the flavors.

  Effective Ways to Remove the Fishy Smell from Pork Ribs

  • To eliminate the smell of pork, do the following: before cooking, blanch the pork in boiling water for about 3 minutes, then rinse the meat with cold water and continue with the cooking process, the meat will no longer have a fishy smell and the dish will be more flavorful.
  • Alternatively, you can rub salt over the entire piece of ribs while thoroughly massaging to remove the slime, then rinse with water several times until clean.
  • Additionally, you can use white wine to rub on the meat multiple times to reduce the odor and make the meat softer.

  Frying the ribs

  You will place the pan on the stove and wait until the pan is hot, then we will add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil and wait for the oil to heat up.

  Next, you will add the ribs to the pan and proceed to sear the marinated rib meat. This frying step will help the pork chop pieces become fragrant and firmer.

  You will sear until the ribs are slightly golden on both sides, then remove them to a plate.

  Making the sauce

  After waiting for the ribs to be partially cooked, you will prepare the sauce. First, we will add 3 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 2 tablespoons of honey, and a little pepper.

  Additionally, if we prefer the sauce to have a sweeter taste, we can add 1 tablespoon of sugar (depending on family preference). Next, you will stir the sauce mixture well to dissolve it evenly.

  Braising Ribs

  You will use a pan and the remaining oil from frying the meat to sauté the sliced shallots. We will stir until the shallots are evenly golden. Once they reach the desired golden color, you will add the previously mixed sauce into the pan.

  Throughout the braising 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, make sure to turn the ribs occasionally. This method will allow the ribs to absorb the seasoning evenly and enhance the color and flavor of the braised ribs. Next, wait for the sauce to be completely absorbed by the meat. There you have it, the dish is complete.
