Sweet and Sour Garlic Short Ribs (One-Pot Dinner)

Sweet and Sour Garlic Short Ribs (One-Pot Dinner)

Taiwanese Sweet and Sour Garlic Short Ribs are hands down one of my favorite recipes from my mom.

Super tender short ribs coated with a sticky glaze, this Taiwanese Sweet and Sour Garlic Short Ribs is a must-try recipe!

Easy-to-find ingredients, this recipe is the perfect weeknight dinner!

Warning, get your rice ready because this glaze will make you eat bowls and bowls of rice. 

One-Pot Dinner

The SOY SAUCE is the most crucial ingredient for my mom’s Taiwanese Sweet and Sour Garlic Short Ribs.

As you know, I always rave about how important it is to use HIGH-QUALITY Soy Sauce as it makes a world of difference.

Today we will be using my go-to and favorite condiments from Lee Kum Kee. My go-to brand to get all my Oyster Sauce, Soy Sauce, and also Dark Soy Sauce.

Lee Kum Kee’s Premium line carries high-quality products that are affordable AND accessible. 

Sweet and Sour Garlic Short Ribs (One-Pot Dinner)

An essential step for making Taiwanese Sweet and Sour Garlic Short Ribs is to blanch the ribs ahead of time.

I always boil the pork for 3-4 minutes before draining and rinsing it with cold water.

Scrub the pork to get out all the blood and dirt before adding it to the pan to cook.

This simple step will allow the sauce it is pure and pork to be more flavourful.

Sweet and Sour Garlic Short Ribs (One-Pot Dinner)

I recommend pairing Taiwanese Sweet and Sour Garlic Short Ribs with a large bowl of rice.

The sticky glaze is super addicting and flavorful, so it pairs perfectly with a large bowl of rice.

PRO TIP: You can also use the leftover oil and glaze to saute vegetables such as bok choy and broccoli for the perfect one-pan dinner.

    This recipe was so good! I followed it word for word because the recipe actually used ingredients I keep on hand. Lots of yummy sauce for rice. I wonder how it would taste with balsamic instead of rice wine vinegar. Loved it, thank you!

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
