Yen Can Cook: Shrimp Sauce Pork Ribs (Philips Air Fryer Version)

Shrimp Sauce/ Shrimp Paste (虾酱), is made from fermented ground shrimp mixed with salt. Some versions are in its wet form and some are sun dried and cut into blocks. It is a common ingredient used in Southeast Asian and Southern Chinese cuisine. Shrimp paste has a pungent aroma and some might found it smell “fishy”, do you know that our Belacan is a type of shrimp paste too?


Normally this recipe is used for fried chicken but I found that it is suitable to fried pork ribs too. Let’s try it!

Step 3: Coated evenly the marinated pork ribs with the mixture of rice flour and corn starch.

Step 4: Pre-heat air fryer at 180ºC. Lightly brush the grill with cooking oil. Place pork ribs and air fry pork ribs for 8 minutes on each side. Alternatively, deep fry pork ribs in heated oil for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
