Caramelized Pork Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• Use a paring knife to lift the membrane covering the back of the ribs and pull it off. Cut the ribs between the bones into individual riblets. Pat dry and season lightly with salt.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven. Add the ribs in batches and brown all over, about 3 minutes per batch, Remove to a plate as they brown.
• As the ribs brown, combine the brown sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat until the mixture darkens to a deep caramel color and is syrupy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vinegar, fish sauce, soy sauce and sriracha. Stir until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the ginger and garlic.
• Once all of the ribs are out of the pot, add the brown sugar sauce and coconut water and bring to a simmer. Nestle the ribs in the sauce, bring to a simmer and cover. Cook until the ribs are tender but not falling apart, about 1 hour.
• Uncover the pot, increase the heat and reduce the sauce, turning the ribs to coat all sides, until it is thick and syrupy and glazes the ribs, 3 to 4 minutes. (Stir the bottom of the pot too so the sauce doesn't burn.) Pile the ribs on a platter and sprinkle with the scallions and jalapeno.

Steps:

• Pour the olive oil into a 12-inch sauté pan, turn the heat to high, and when the oil is hot, slip in the meat. Turn the ribs two or three times to brown them well. If the pan is crowded, do a batch at at time, then return them all to the pan. Pour in the wine and turn the ribs once or twice while the wine bubbles completely away.
• Add the sliced onions, salt and chili pepper, cover the pan and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 2 to 3 hours, turning the ribs occasionally, until the meaty part of the ribs feels very tender and the onions have cooked down to a creamy consistency.

Steps:

• Place a large heavy skillet or wok over high heat, drizzle the oil into the pan, and pour the sugar over the oil. Cook and stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and turns a light brown color. Be careful, the melted sugar is very hot. Stir in the pork, 2 green onions, chile pepper, black pepper, shallots, garlic, and salt, and toss them in the caramelized sugar until the pork turns golden brown. Drizzle the sesame oil over the pork and vegetables, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer to reduce the juices.
• When the juices have been mostly absorbed, turn the heat back up to high, and cook and stir the pork and vegetables until the sauce has thickened and coated the pork, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of green onion rings.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450ºF.
• Line roasting pan with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Place ribs in prepared pan; brush both sides of ribs with dressing. Bake 20 min.
• Reduce oven to 300ºF. Top ribs with onions; cover with additional foil.

• Increase oven to 450ºF. Mix barbecue sauce and mustard until blended; spoon over ribs. Top with reserved onions. Bake, uncovered, 25 min.
