My quick home version of one of my favorite recipes. Serve with jasmine rice.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 pounds pork spareribs, cut into 1-inch pieces

- 1 teaspoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon green onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
Instructions
- 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.
