Method

  2. 2 Marinate the ribs with fish sauce, minced garlic, pepper, and a little sugar for 20 minutes.
  3. 3 Deep-fry the ribs in oil over medium heat for 8 minutes until golden brown on both sides, then remove and drain.
  4. 4 Sauté the garlic, then add the tomatoes, pineapple, and onions and stir-fry until softened. Add the vinegar, sugar, and a little water.
  5. 5 Return the ribs to the pan, simmer over low heat for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats them evenly, sprinkle with pepper, then turn off the heat.
