Ingredients:

600 grams Pork spare ribs

6 cloves Garlic (minced)

½ tsp Black Pepper

½  tsp Curry Powder

½ cup Brown Sugar

½ cup Tomato or banana ketchup

½ cup Soy sauce

1 cup Pineapple Juice

3-5 cups Water


Directions:

Step 1:

In a large pan, combine minced garlic, black pepper, salt, curry powder, brown sugar, tomato or banana ketchup, soy sauce, pineapple juice, and enough water to fully cover the pork ribs. Stir well to create a flavorful sauce.


Step 2:

Add the pork spare ribs to the pan, ensuring the meaty side is facing down. Turn on the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, check from time to time, and add more water if needed.


Step 3:

Once the ribs are tender and fully cooked, let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. You can transfer the remaining sauce into a small bowl and serve it alongside the ribs as a dipping sauce.


Tips:

  • Marinating Magic: Marinate the ribs for more flavor. Longer marination (4 hours to overnight) is better.

  • Low and Slow: Slow-cook the ribs for tenderness. Be patient; it's worth it.

  • Resting is Key: Allow the ribs to rest for juicier results.

  • Customize Spice: Adjust pepper and curry powder for your preferred heat level.

  • Extra Sauce: Make more sauce for dipping or drizzling.


Serve and Enjoy!💖
