A delightful twist on classic ribs, combining tangy and sweet flavors for a mouthwatering experience.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and brown the ribs on all sides.
Ensure the pan is hot before adding the ribs to achieve a good sear.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until softened.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onion from burning.
Drain any excess fat from the pan and add the mushrooms and pineapple chunks.
If using fresh pineapple, add a splash of water to prevent sticking.
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, and vinegar. Stir constantly over medium heat until the sauce thickens.
Keep stirring to avoid lumps in the sauce.
Pour the sauce over the ribs and vegetable mixture in the frying pan. Cover and simmer on low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Check occasionally to ensure the sauce doesn't reduce too much; add a splash of water if needed.
Serve the ribs hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with steamed rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
