Preparation steps

1.

Rinse pork ribs, pat dry and cut between the bones into individual ribs. Peel and chop ginger and garlic. Mix with soy sauce and pepper. Coat ribs with the marinade in a bowl and refrigerate for about 1 hour. 

2.

Rinse both peppers, remove seeds and ribs and cut into thin rings.

3.

Peel, halve and thinly slice onion.

4.

Remove ribs from the marinade, drain and coat with cornstarch. Heat oil in a large pot. Cook ribs for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.  

5.

Caramelize sugar lightly in a large pan. Deglaze pan with about 100 ml (approximately 2/5 cup) of water. Loosen caramel from the pan bottom and add onion and both peppers to the pan. Saute for about 2 minutes, adding more water or broth as needed. Add ribs to the pan and cook briefly.  

6.

Serve caramelized ribs with rice, if desired.
