Enjoy these Instant Pot Sticky Asian Ribs any day of the week. Sweet and savory collide in these amazing Asian ribs recipe. Soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and more come together to bring you a finger-licking rib recipe your family will beg for. 

I love me some Asian-style ribs, but I don’t like paying the price to dine out! So with a family of boys, I have to make quite a bit to feed their growing bodies. So I reach for my Instant Pot to cook up these insanely flavorful oriental ribs. 

Instant Pot Sticky Asian Ribs

Ribs used to take hours to make, and something I just don’t have time for. So, now with my handy electric pressure cooker, I can now make ribs any day of the week, instead of only the weekends. 

What To Serve With Asian Ribs

You are welcome to pair anything with your ribs. If you want a baked bean, rice noodles, soba noodles, fresh salad, basmati rice, or the list goes on. There is no wrong side dish to pick for this pairing. These ribs are outstanding and pair well with almost anything. 

Why Make Ribs In The Instant Pot 

You can cut down the cooking time tremendously when you cook ribs in the Instant Pot. You pressure cook to tenderize the meat. Then once you get that all handled, you toss your basted ribs in the oven to create a sticky glaze that makes them so rich and savory in flavor. Then lick those fingers and dive in! 

You won’t spend all day making these ribs like you would if you did the oven or grill. Plus these Asian ribs are fall off the bone tender, so no chewing tough meat. The pressure cooker does a fantastic job of tenderizing the meat. 

Asian Sauce 

Now I am sure you could buy a store-bought Asian inspired sauce to baste your ribs. I have found the sauce recipe I make homemade below really elevates the flavor of these ribs. It will help tenderize the meat but also offers an incredible flavor that will truly make this an award-winning dish. 

Tips For Cooking Ribs 

• Remove the membrane | This will help you to have a tender and delicious texture. If you leave the membrane on, it will result in a chewy and tough end result. 
• Rice Vinegar | Rice vinegar is a must, don’t use distilled or apple cider to replace. Vinegar will help to break down the meat a bit, add incredible flavor and enhance all the other ingredients. Don’t skip this essential ingredient. 
• Broil or Grill | After your ribs have cooked placing them to broil or cook in the oven or even on the grill will make the glaze become sticky. This is going to give your ribs flavor but also a fantastic texture. 

Be gentle when you remove the ribs from the pressure cooker. They will be tender so you don’t want them to fall off the bone before you get them slathered up to broil! 

How to Store Leftover Asian Sticky Ribs

If you have leftovers place them in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to three days. We rarely have leftovers, so when we do it is always a treat the next day!
