Instant Pot Asian Country Style Ribs
Fall-apart tender ribs with a sweet and savory Asian glaze. Start at 3:45 PM to eat by 5 PM.
Serves 4 meals (dinner for 2 + lunch for 2)
Ingredients
- 3.75-4.5 lbs country style pork ribs
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tablespoon from jar)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated (or squeeze from paste tube)
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- Splash of water
- Drizzle of olive oil
Instructions
- Pull ribs from freezer to fridge 24 hours before cooking.
- Mix sauce in a bowl: soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, vinegar, and a splash of water.
- Turn Instant Pot to sauté. Add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Sear the ribs in batches for about 2 minutes per side until browned. Don't crowd the pot. Set ribs aside on a plate.
- Pour a splash of the sauce into the pot and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. This prevents a burn notice.
- Turn off sauté. Place the ribs back in, pour the rest of the sauce over them.
- Close lid, set valve to sealing. Pressure cook on high for 35 minutes.
- Let it natural release for 10 minutes, then quick release remaining pressure.
- Remove ribs. Optional: hit sauté again and let the sauce reduce for 5-10 minutes until it thickens into a glaze.
- Pour the reduced sauce over the ribs and broil for 5 minutes.
Notes
Leftovers good for 3-4 days in fridge. Reheat in microwave or pan with a splash of water.
