Vietnamese Sweet and Sour Pork Spare Ribs and Shrimps Stir Fry (Suon Xao Chua Ngot) is fried pork spare ribs simmered in a savory sweet and sour tomato sauce. This delicious dish is perfectly pair with steamed rice.
This recipe you can add bell pepper, onion or pineapple if you prefer. It’s super easy to make but yet it’s very flavorful dish.
I love to add Shrimps with it but it’s optional so you don’t have to.
When you buy at supermarket, you can request they cut into 2 inches for you or you can do it by itself at home. But I recommend you should have a sharp knife.
The traditional recipe requires fresh tomatoes, but I found using ketchup or tomato paste will give you the same taste.
The ingredients and measurements are based on my taste, so feel free to adjust it your way.
Enjoy this recipe and leave me a comment if you have any questions.
