• 6. If it’s not sour enough, add more water to the tamarind pulp and extract more juice.

Cook’s Note:

Nyonya stewed pork ribs should taste salty (from the bean paste), sour (from the tamarind juice), and sweet (from the sweet taste of pork ribs and shallots). It should also taste a little spicy from the red chilies. The taste develops overnight and it’s even better the next day.
