caramelized pork ribs

Large pieces of sweet and savory pork ribs coated in an umami-packed glaze. This super-simple pork rib recipe has the same great flavor as traditional Vietnamese caramelized pork ribs, but takes fewer steps.

Lazy Pan-Fried Lemongrass Pork Ribs with Sweet &amp; Savory Glaze

lbs pork spare rib slab

vegetable oil

shallot (finely diced)

lemongrass

garlic (finely diced)

fish sauce

brown sugar

water

green onions (optional; thinly sliced)

Prep the pork ribs

If possible, remove the thin membrane from underneath the slab of pork ribs. If you can get grab a piece of it from the edge, which can be quite slippery, it will pull off easily, usually in one large sheet. Removing this membrane will immediately remove that chewy part of the rib, making it more tender. After removing the membrane, use a sharp knife to cut in-between the bones to separate the ribs into individual long pieces.

Pan fry ribs

In a large nonstick deep skillet, heat oil on medium-high. Pan-fry the ribs until caramelized and golden brown on all sides.

Add aromatics

Clear a space in the middle of the skillet and add shallots, minced lemongrass, shallots, and garlic. Saute for 10 seconds.

Add seasoning and braise

Add brown sugar, fish sauce, and water. Toss the ribs in the mixture. Partially cover with a lid off-center to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cook for 25 minutes or until the ribs are tender. Add a bit more water if necessary if the liquid is cooking off before ribs are tender. Flip the ribs halfway through to get coated in the sauce. Uncover the skillet. Most of the liquid should have evaporated and reduced to a shiny glaze. If not, continue to simmer uncovered. Keep a watchful eye at this point because the sauce can reduce too much and burn &#8211; the very reason a nonstick skillet will save you a lot of headache.

Garnish and serve

Top with green onions for a beautiful finish and serve.

Hi Vicky,
Thanks for sharing,
These ribs are addictive!
It’s the quickest rib recipe that I’ve ever cooked and certainly none the worse for it. Excellent cooking technique.
I assume that I can use the method with other flavours too so it’s definitely on my menu now.
