How to cook it
-
Chop the pork ribs into short, bite-size pieces if your butcher has not already.
-
Melt the sugar in a heavy pot over medium heat, swirling, until it turns a deep amber caramel, about 5 minutes.
-
Carefully add the shallots and garlic, standing back as it sputters, and stir 30 seconds.
-
Add the ribs and toss to coat in the caramel, searing on most sides, about 5 minutes.
-
Pour in the fish sauce and 1 cup water, add the black pepper, and bring to a simmer.
-
Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the ribs are tender, about 25 minutes.
-
Uncover and simmer until the sauce reduces to a thick, sticky glaze that coats the ribs, about 8 minutes more.
-
Serve hot, with rice served alongside.
