Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• ½ tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 ½ tablespoons white vinegar
• 4 slices fresh ginger
• 2 pounds pork loin rib tips
• 1 cup boiling water, or more if needed
• 2 tablespoons rock sugar, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add oil, ginger, and rib tips, in that order, to the hot pan. Stir-fry until the surface of the ribs turns golden on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Pour enough boiling water on top of the ribs to just cover. Cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until water is almost absorbed, 5 to 20 minutes more. Be careful not to burn ribs.

Step 3

Add rock sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce. Stir until well combined and cook until sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes.
