- Wash young ribs. Boil a pot of water and put ribs, a little salt, and crushed ginger inside. Then, take them out and wash them again.

- Use a mortar and a pestle to bray salt, garlic, purple onion, and the white part of scallion. Add fish sauce, brown sugar, pepper, monosodium glutamate, and stir.

- Put ribs in a large bowl, pour the mixture in step 2 on, and squeeze so that ribs can be fully infused. Ribs should be marinated for at least 20-25 minutes. Ribs are more delicious if being marinated overnight.

- In a pan, fry the onion and garlic, put pineapple and a little sugar if you like sweet flavor. After about 3-5 minutes, when the pineapple turns clear, turn off the heat.

- Put marinated ribs in a pan and stir fry for a few minutes. After that, put ribs and sauce in a pot to braise. It is better to braise in a clay pot. Add fresh coconut water. Lower the heat, braise for 40-50 minutes until the ribs are soft.

- Add pineapple and braise for more 3-5 minutes so that pineapple can be deeply soaked in sauce.

- Put ribs, pineapple, and sauce in a bowl. Add spring onion, pepper, and chili. This dish is the best when served with hot rice.
