Irresistible Pressure Cooker Chinese Ribs Recipe: A Flavorful Delight

Ingredients

• A generous sprinkle of paprika, a hint of garlic powder, a dash of ground black pepper, a pinch of salt
• Tender pork ribs, marinating in a blend of vegetable oil, water, and a touch of sweetness from ketchup and brown sugar
• A splash of Chinese vinegar, a drizzle of Worcestershire sauce for that perfect balance

Step 1

Combine paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt in a resealable bag to create a flavorful rub. Place the ribs inside the bag, seal it tightly, and give it a good shake until the ribs are fully coated with the spices. Once coated, take the ribs out of the bag and set the dry rub aside.

Step 2

In a wok set over medium-high heat, warm up some oil until it shimmers. Sear the ribs in the hot oil until they develop a nice brown crust on all sides, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Step 3

Next, in a pressure cooker, mix water, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce to form a tasty sauce base. Introduce the seared ribs to the pressure cooker, lock the lid in place, and bring the cooker to pressure. Lower the heat to medium and let the ribs cook under pressure for about 15 minutes.

Step 4

Once the cooking time is up, remove the pressure cooker from the heat and carefully release the pressure following the manufacturer's instructions. This will ensure your ribs are tender and infused with all the delicious flavors from the sauce.
