Pro Tips:
To experience pork ribs with a bolder coffee flavour, switch out the JJ Royal Coffee Kopi Tubruk Café Latte for 1-2 sachets of JJ Royal Coffee Kopi Tubruk – Pure Black and add 1 tbsp of brown sugar. (For less coffee intensity, just go with 1 sachet!)
Add water, as needed, if sauce becomes too sticky or thick while simmering (before coating the ribs).
