Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork spareribs
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Cut the pork spareribs into individual ribs and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining the soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the spareribs, ensuring each rib is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or wok over medium heat.
Step 5
Remove the spareribs from the marinade, reserving the liquid for later use. Brown the spareribs in the skillet, turning frequently to sear all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 6
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet along with the water. Stir to combine.
Step 7
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the ribs simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened to a glossy coating.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the spareribs from the skillet and arrange them on a serving platter.
Step 9
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions over the spareribs for garnish.
Step 10
Serve the Vietnamese Sesame Spareribs hot with steamed rice or as part of a feast. Enjoy!
