For the nước màu, we’ll add sugar to a clean pot, cook on medium-low, constantly stirring until it turns a dark amber color. Make sure you don’t burn it, otherwise it’ll taste acrid

Add the pork spareribs and let it brown for a couple minutes. Then we’ll add dark soy sauce, a whole can of Coco Rico, salt and pepper to taste. Bring up to a boil, let that simmer covered for 1-1.5 hours or until tender. Remove the lid, crank up the heat to medium-high and let the sauce reduce and caramelize
