Caramelized Asian-Style Pork Ribs

Ingredients:
1 kg pork ribs (cut into small pieces)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp sugar or honey (for caramelization)
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp cooking oil
3 cloves garlic, minced (optional but recommended)
1/2 cup water
Instructions:
Marinate the ribs
In a bowl, combine pork ribs, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, black pepper, and sugar/honey.
Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor).
Pan-fry for color
Heat oil in a deep pan or wok.
Add the ribs (reserve the marinade) and sear on medium-high heat until lightly browned on all sides.
Caramelize and simmer
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Pour in the reserved marinade and 1/2 cup water.
Stir well, cover, and let simmer on low heat for 35–45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ribs are tender and sauce is reduced to a sticky glaze.
Finish up
Taste and adjust seasoning (add a splash of soy sauce if needed).
Allow the sauce to thicken until the ribs are glossy and well-coated.
Serve
Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if you like, and serve hot with steamed rice.
