A method for preparing small sections of pork ribs, frequently cut from the rib tips or spare ribs, using flavor profiles common in Asian cuisine. These preparations often involve marinades and sauces incorporating ingredients such as soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and various spices. One common example includes braising the riblets in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar until tender and glazed.
This culinary approach provides a flavorful and often economical way to enjoy pork ribs. The smaller size of the riblets allows for quicker cooking times and more even distribution of flavors. Historically, the use of Asian-inspired flavors has grown in popularity globally, reflecting a broader appreciation for diverse culinary traditions and a desire for complex and balanced flavor profiles.
