Caramelized Succulent Asian Rib Stew With Egg Photo Recipe

Estimated per serving cost $1.50

Hello my Socialites! Today's delicious hearty recipe is an Asian caramelized rib stew that is cooked in brown sugar. This is a simple but yet succulent tender dish. This dish is similar to neighboring SEA countries as well and just as delicious! Lao tradition make this type of stew with pork fat and skin along with the meat but I am out of pork so I found family style boneless ribs in the freezer instead. It's perfect for someone starting out and don't want a lot of pork fat in their diet since this dish is caramelized in sugar anyway. 

The key in this dish is perfecting the caramelizing because it is so easy to burn the pan quickly if you are not attentive. Serve this with any type of rice. I prefer mine with sticky rice. This is a great dish for a pot luck or a gathering. This is my own take on a sweet Asian dish and it's very easy on your wallet! Let's get started!

Cube boneless ribs into pieces

Combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, and black pepper into cube ribs in bowl.  Mix well with hand.

Heat up medium pan with cooking oil. After it's nice and hot, add brown sugar in pan. Stir and making sure heat is low to medium. Let it caramelize. If it's too hot it will burn.

Now add the meat mixture in and stir for a minute.

Stir until the meat is brown but not all the way cook. Browning should only take 2 minutes after ginger is added in.

This is how it should be browning.
