- Place the pork ribs, soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, sugar, and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, uncovered, for 5–8 minutes.

- Once the scum has been removed, cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 40–60 minutes, or until the meat is fork tender and the sauce has reduced. Check every 20 minutes to make sure there is still enough liquid in the pot and add a splash of water as needed.
- When the pork is tender, taste the sauce and adjust with salt if needed. [Optional] For a richer sauce, uncover during the last 10–15 minutes of cooking to help reduce and concentrate the flavors.Serve hot with plenty of rice!
