Pork Ribs with Rice

A perfect dinner option — incredibly tasty pork ribs! Pork ribs pair beautifully with a side of rice. This recipe gives you a delicious way to cook them: the meat comes out soft and juicy, falls right off the bone, and is wrapped in a fragrant caramel sauce. If that's not restaurant-worthy, what is? Use any rice you like — fluffy long-grain, parboiled, short-grain white, or brown all work.

    1. Peel the shallots and pulse them in a blender. Peel and finely process the garlic and ginger too — in a blender or through a press. 2. Put the shallots, garlic, and ginger in a deep bowl. Add the chili sauce, fish sauce, and soy sauce, then the brown sugar and black pepper. Whisk everything together by hand. 3. Rinse the pork ribs and cut them into individual ribs. Put them in a sturdy zip-top freezer bag and pour in the marinade. Press out as much air as you can and seal the bag, then shake it vigorously. 4. Set the bag in a bowl, just in case, and refrigerate it to marinate overnight. 5. The next day, take the ribs out of the bag and grill them at 400°F (200°C). Not for long — just a few minutes per side. 6. Make the caramel sauce: pour the brown sugar into a saucepan, add the water and fresh lemon juice, and set it over the heat. 7. Cook, stirring often, until the mixture turns liquid, then keep cooking for another 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. 8. Put the ribs in a pot and pour the caramel sauce over them. Cover and cook over low heat for about 4 hours. 9. Meanwhile, cook the rice. Rinse it, put it in a pot, add water (about 1¾–2 cups / 400–450 ml), set it over the heat, and cook until done. 10. Using tongs, lift out the ribs. Skim the fat from the sauce left in the pot and discard it. Return the sauce to the heat and cook for 3–5 minutes until it's syrupy. Take it off the heat, add the butter, and blend until smooth. 11. Plate the rice in portions, add the ribs, and spoon the sauce over. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped herbs. Enjoy!
