When serving Asian sticky ribs, you might want to complement the rich and flavourful ribs with side dishes that balance the meal, provide contrasting textures, and offer a variety of tastes. Here are some of my favourite things to serve with up with Asian sticky ribs: instant pot white rice, caramelized bok choy, garlic broccoli, green beans and bacon, spicy cucumber salad, smashed potatoes or mashed potatoes or a simple green salad.
