Instant Pot Garlic-Ginger Spare Ribs

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt optional
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1.5 lb pork spareribs
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion

Instructions
 

  • I just read an article that it's not necessary, but I like to rinse my meat with lemon or lime juice before cooking (a family tradition). Squeeze out excess water (or pat dry) after rinsing.
  • Make a marinade of garlic, ginger, soy, sugar, salt and sesame oil. Pour over the ribs and let stand for at least 1 hour before cooking.
  • Set the Instant Pot to sauté and add the oil to heat. Add the ribs and brown a few minutes on both sides.
  • Turn off  and then switch to Pressure Cooking, setting the timer to 20 minutes. Pour water in the pot, cover and lock the lid to cook the ribs while you're working on your side dishes.
  • Once the timer goes off, cancel the program and release the pressure. (Follow the manufacturer's instructions)
  • Move the ribs to a serving dish and sprinkle with green onions.
