Ingredients

• 2 lbs Pork spareribs
• 6 whole Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Cold water
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork spareribs into individual ribs. Trim any excess fat if needed.

Step 2

In a large pot or deep skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Sear the spareribs until lightly browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife (no need to finely chop), and add them to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, ketchup, and water. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.

Step 6

Pour the sauce mixture over the spareribs. Stir to coat the ribs evenly in the sauce.

Step 7

Bring to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Allow the ribs to cook for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The sauce will reduce and the ribs will become tender.

Step 8

Check the ribs after an hour. If the sauce is reducing too quickly, you can add a splash of water to maintain the consistency.

Step 9

When the ribs are fork-tender, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl to make a slurry.

Step 10

Gradually stir the slurry into the simmering sauce to thicken it. Cook for another 5 minutes until the sauce becomes glossy and clings to the ribs.

Step 11

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary (e.g., add a pinch more brown sugar for sweetness or a splash of vinegar for tanginess).

Step 12

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, before serving.
