Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

Wash the ribs thoroughly and then use a knife to chop them into bite-sized pieces.

Next, place a pot on the stove, pour in water, and wait for it to boil. Once the water is boiling, blanch the ribs for about 3-4 minutes to remove any unpleasant odor. Remove the ribs, rinse them 2-3 times, and drain them in a colander. After the ribs have drained, marinate them with a little seasoning to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Peel the pineapple, remove the eyes, rinse with clean water, and slice into bite-sized pieces. Peel, wash, and finely chop the garlic. Wash and finely chop the scallions and chili peppers.

Step 2 : Fry the ribs

Place a pan on the stove and add 100ml of cooking oil. Then, add the prepared pork ribs and fry over medium heat until both sides are golden brown.

While frying, add the crushed garlic cloves to the pan to give the dish a delicious aroma.

Step 3 : Making the pineapple-braised ribs

Put the fried ribs into the pot, then add one small bowl of water along with all the prepared pineapple.

Next, add the following spice mixture to the pot: 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, half a teaspoon MSG, and half a teaspoon seasoning powder.

Use chopsticks to mix the ribs well so they absorb the seasoning, then cook over low heat until the sauce thickens. Finally, adjust the seasoning to taste, add a little chopped green onion, and turn off the heat.

Step 4 : Completion

Transfer the pineapple-braised ribs to a plate, pour the sauce evenly over them, and garnish with a few slices of fresh chili peppers for a more appealing presentation.

This dish is best served with hot rice. To enhance the flavor, you can eat it with cucumber or fresh vegetables.

3. Notes when making pork ribs braised with pineapple

To make the most delicious pineapple-braised ribs, you need to keep a few tips in mind when choosing ingredients.

When buying pork ribs, choose those that are pink in color, with small, flat bones, and have firm, elastic meat without any strange odors. However, you shouldn't choose ribs that are too small, as these are likely from young pigs, which will not taste good and may not be of good quality.

If you choose to buy ribs at the supermarket, you should ask the salesperson to take the ribs out of the display case so you can directly observe the color of the meat, avoiding being deceived by the display case lights.

When choosing pineapples, select those with an attractive yellow color mixed with green. These are ripe pineapples that have reached their optimal sweetness. They should feel moderately soft to the touch, with slightly wrinkled skin.

Please note that you should avoid buying pineapples that are unevenly colored. If there is a lot of green, it means it's not fully ripe, while if it's a mix of yellow and dark brown, it means it's overripe and about to spoil.

Depending on your family's preferences and tastes, you can increase the amount of pineapple and fresh chili peppers.

A successful pineapple-braised pork rib dish should have glossy ribs, tender and flavorful meat, perfectly ripe pineapple that isn't mushy, and a thick sauce with a distinctive sweet and sour taste.

Thus, with readily available ingredients and a simple method, you now have a delicious pineapple-braised pork ribs dish to add to your family's menu.

I wish you success!
