Ingredients

• Pork ribs - 400 grams
• Jasmine rice - 150 grams
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Shallots - 2, finely chopped
• Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons
• Fish sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Cucumber - 1, sliced for garnish
• Fresh cilantro - a handful for garnish
• Water - 300 milliliters

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, minced garlic, black pepper, and lime juice. Marinate the pork ribs in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.
2. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice and 300 milliliters of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the pork ribs from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
4. While the ribs are grilling, sauté the chopped shallots in the remaining marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until fragrant.
5. Serve the cooked rice on plates, top with grilled pork ribs, and drizzle with the sautéed shallots and sauce. Garnish with cucumber slices and fresh cilantro.
