Bittersweet and sticky COFFEE PORK RIBS is one of my favourite ribs recipe. The bitterness in the coffee adds flavours and depth to the pork ribs and it also balances very well with the sweetness of the sugar.

It goes well with everything, and of course is a crowd pleaser, both adults and kids LOVE this! Traditionally it requires a little bit of frying for the ribs. But if you like to BBQ or to bake it in the oven, it is possible to do it too. Just check the BBQ option below!
