Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless pork rib meat
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cayenne (or paprika for less heat)
- 1 tsp ground ginger powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 green onion (for garnish)
Preparation
Step 1
– Pre-heat your oven to 375F. Then start by mixing together the brown sugar, cayenne (use less if you’re not a fan of spice or substitute it with paprika), ginger powder, black pepper and salt.
– Spoon over half the dry rub onto the pork ribs on all sides and rub it into the meat well. Save the other half of the rub for later.
– Heat a cast iron/oven proof pan on high heat and add about a tablespoon of oil in it.
– Sear the pork ribs to brown it on all sides, then pop the pan (or transfer to a baking sheet if it’s not oven proof) in the oven pre-heated to 375F for 25-30 mins. Turn the pork over about halfway through the cooking time. Then take the pan out and allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes.
– In the meantime chop the onion into big dice pieces.
– Once the meat has rested, slice the pork into thin slices.
– Heat a little oil in wok or frying pan on medium-high heat and toss in the diced onion. Saute the onion for about 2 minutes.
– Then add in the sliced pork and toss it well with the onion.
– Add the remaining brown sugar-spice mix and stir it in with the pork so it starts caramelizing. Keep stirring the pork around in the caramel sauce, until it becomes sticky.
– Garnish the caramelized pork with some sliced green onion. Serve with rice or as a sandwich filling. Yummmm…
