Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 lbs pork ribs (medium size)
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup minced lemongrass
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoons neutral oil
Instructions
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, honey, black pepper, lemongrass, garlic, and oil. Mix well. If you feel there’s too much sugar, start with a little bit and gradually add to taste if needed.
- Season Pork Ribs: Give the ribs a quick rinse in the sink to remove any slimy residue and drain dry. If you purchased pork ribs as a string of pork riblets, use a knife and cut in between the bones to separate them into individual ribs. Place the pork ribs in a mixing bowl and pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well-coated. You can air fry right away.
- Air Fry: Arrange the marinated ribs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. All 2 lbs of pork ribs fit snugly in my air fryer. Air fry at 350°F for 12 minutes, flip, and continue cooking for another 12 minutes for a total of 24 minutes or until nicely caramelized to your liking. Enjoy the pork ribs on their own as a tasty appetizer or with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
