      Title: Pork Riblets Simmered In Caramel Sauce
 Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Sauces, Rice
      Yield: 6 servings
 
      3 lb Baby back pork ribs; halved
           - acrossw by a butcher,
           - separated into riblets
    1/2 sm Yellow onion; peeled,
           - minced
      2 c  + 2 ts sugar; divided
      1 ts Fresh ground pepper
      2 tb Oil
    1/4 c  Vietnamese fish sauce;
           - divided
           Thin sliced scallions;
           - garnish
           Steamed jasmine rice; to
           - serve
 
  To a large bowl, add the pork, onion, 2 teaspoons sugar,
  the pepper, oil, and 2 tablespoons fish sauce. Toss to
  combine and coat the ribs. Marinate in the fridge for 2
  hours.
  
  Meanwhile, preheat a broiler to high and line a large
  rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Transfer the
  riblets to the baking sheet and broil, turning once,
  until the meat is charred in places, 15-20 minutes.
  Remove from the broiler and set aside.
  
  Fill a large bowl with ice water and set it by the
  stove. In a large pot, stir together the remaining
  2 cups sugar and 1/3 cup water. Cover and bring to a
  boil over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves,
  4-5 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until the
  sugar turns dark reddish-brown, 10-15 minutes.
  
  Remove from heat and immediately set the bottom of the
  pot in the ice water to stop the cooking. Add 1 cup cold
  water to the pot, return it to medium heat, and cook,
  stirring continuously, until the caramel has liquefied.
  Add the reserved riblets and any accumulated juices, as
  well as the remaining 2 tablespoons fish sauce, then
  bring to a simmer. Partially cover the pot, lower the
  heat to maintain a simmer, and cook, skimming and
  discarding the fat occasionally, until the pork is very
  tender, about 1 hour.
  
  Top with scallions, and serve with steamed jasmine rice.
