- 1 handful of green onions or onions (adds aromatic depth)
The Magic Soy Sauce Glaze- 3-4 Tbsp Soy sauce (regular or brewed)
- 1/4 cup Water (approx. 50ml)
- 2 Tbsp Oligosaccharide or Corn Syrup (for shine and sweetness)
- 0.5 Tbsp Chicken stock powder or bouillon cube (enhances umami!)
- 1 tsp Oyster sauce (deepens the flavor profile)
- 3-4 Tbsp Soy sauce (regular or brewed)
- 1/4 cup Water (approx. 50ml)
- 2 Tbsp Oligosaccharide or Corn Syrup (for shine and sweetness)
- 0.5 Tbsp Chicken stock powder or bouillon cube (enhances umami!)
- 1 tsp Oyster sauce (deepens the flavor profile)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your pork ribs. If they are pre-marinated, you’re all set! If not, you can marinate them briefly or proceed as is. Place the pork ribs in your air fryer basket and cook at 180°C (350°F) for about 15 to 20 minutes. Flip them halfway through to ensure both sides are nicely browned and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, aiming for a tender and juicy texture.
Step 2
While the ribs are cooking, let’s make the delicious soy sauce glaze! Heat a pan over medium-low heat. Add 3-4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of oligosaccharide (or corn syrup), 0.5 tablespoon of chicken stock powder (or bouillon cube), and 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce. Whisk everything together thoroughly with a whisk or spoon until well combined and smooth. Ensure there are no lumps.
Step 3
Arrange the chopped green onions or onions on top of the sauce in the pan. As these vegetables simmer in the sauce, they will release their natural sweetness and aroma, adding a wonderful complexity to the glaze. Let them simmer together over medium-low heat for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and the vegetables become fragrant.
Step 4
Now, carefully transfer the air-fried pork ribs into the pan with the prepared soy sauce glaze. It’s important to simmer over medium-low heat, rather than high heat, allowing the sauce to thoroughly coat and penetrate the meat. Turn the ribs occasionally to ensure every piece is coated and absorbing the delicious glaze, about 3-5 minutes. You’ll notice the irresistible aroma filling your kitchen! Once the ribs are beautifully glazed, cut them into bite-sized pieces for serving.
Step 5
Arrange the bite-sized glazed pork ribs attractively on a serving plate. The glistening ribs and the perfectly balanced sweet and savory sauce will be a dream come true with a bowl of hot rice. This dish makes for a truly satisfying homemade meal. Enjoy your perfectly cooked pork ribs with soy sauce glaze!
