How to Make Salt and Pepper Spare Ribs (So Good, You’ll Lick Your Fingers)

Hey guys! Let’s cook up some Salt and Pepper Spare Ribs today. They’re crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor.

If you want a recipe that’s super simple but tastes like a restaurant dish, this is it. Let’s go!

What You’ll Need:

For the Ribs:

• 2 lbs pork spare ribs (cut into smaller pieces if you can)
• 2 tbsp cornstarch (makes them crispy!)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Oil for frying (like vegetable or canola)

For the Finishing Touch:

• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 green onions (sliced)
• 1 small red chili (optional, if you like spice)
• 1 tsp more salt
• 1 tsp more black pepper

Let’s Cook:

1. Prep the Ribs:
   Wash your ribs and pat them dry with paper towels. Dry ribs = crispy ribs, so don’t skip this step.

1. Season & Coat:
   In a bowl, mix the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Rub it all over the ribs like you’re giving them a little spa treatment. Then, toss the ribs in cornstarch. The cornstarch gives them that perfect crispy coating.

1. Fry Time!
   Heat a pot of oil on medium-high. You’ll know it’s ready when you drop a pinch of cornstarch in, and it sizzles. Carefully fry the ribs in batches (don’t overcrowd the pot). Fry them for about 8-10 minutes until they’re golden and crispy. Set them on a paper towel to drain the extra oil.

1. Make It Extra Flavorful:
   In a large pan or wok, heat a little bit of oil. Toss in the minced garlic, green onions, and chili (if using). Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until it smells amazing. Add the ribs back to the pan and sprinkle with the extra salt and pepper. Toss everything together so the ribs are coated in that garlicky goodness.

1. Serve and Slay:
   Plate up those ribs and watch everyone dive in. They’re crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and totally addictive.

Pro Tips:

• These taste even better with a side of rice or noodles.
• Want extra crunch? Fry the ribs twice (yes, it’s a thing, and it’s awesome).
• Not a fan of spice? Skip the chili, but don’t skip the garlic—it’s key!
