Notes

  • Marinating the ribs for a longer time will give your pork ribs a stronger garlic flavor. If you like other seasonings, you can use it instead of garlic. 
  • If you use a lot of pork ribs, please deep-fry them in batches. 
  • The second deep frying is to make the pork ribs more crispy. 
  • Be careful of hot oil. 
  • The finished fried ribs are really fragrant.
