Serves 4 meals (dinner for 2 + lunch for 2)

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pull ribs from freezer to fridge 24 hours before cooking.
  2. Mix sauce in a bowl: soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, vinegar, and a splash of water.
  3. Turn Instant Pot to sauté. Add a drizzle of olive oil.
  4. Sear the ribs in batches for about 2 minutes per side until browned. Don't crowd the pot. Set ribs aside on a plate.
  5. 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.
  6. Turn off sauté. Place the ribs back in, pour the rest of the sauce over them.
  7. Close lid, set valve to sealing. Pressure cook on high for 35 minutes.
  8. Let it natural release for 10 minutes, then quick release remaining pressure.
  9. Remove ribs. Optional: hit sauté again and let the sauce reduce for 5-10 minutes until it thickens into a glaze.
  10. 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.
