Step 1

In a small bowl, combine fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, honey, black pepper, lemongrass, garlic, and oil. Mix well. If you feel there’s too much sugar, start with a little bit and gradually add to taste if needed.

Step 2

Give the ribs a quick rinse in the sink to remove any slimy residue and drain dry. If you purchased pork ribs as a string of pork riblets, use a knife and cut in between the bones to separate them into individual ribs. Place the pork ribs in a mixing bowl and pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well-coated. You can air fry right away.

Step 3

Arrange the marinated ribs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. All 2 lbs of pork ribs fit snugly in my air fryer. Air fry at 350°F for 12 minutes, flip, and continue cooking for another 12 minutes for a total of 24 minutes or until nicely caramelized to your liking. Enjoy the pork ribs on their own as a tasty appetizer or with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
