NEXT RECIPE: CHINESE STYLE BARBECUE PORK

CHINESE SPARE RIBS

2 teaspoons oil
1 lb spare ribs, cut into 1 1/4 inch pieces
1 tsp salt
3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 drops red food coloring or 1 tablespoon beet juice (optional)
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup water
pinch of red cayenne pepper

In a skillet, brown the spare ribs and garlic in oil, mashing the garlic in with a fork as it takes on color (remove garlic before it browns).

Add salt, soy sauce (and coloring or beet juice, if using), vinegar and water.

Bring to a boil for 1 minute, reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until tender. (If it's barbecue weather, simmer 15 minutes, then finish slowly on grill - basting frequently with liquid from pan).

Make a gravy:

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar (or Karo brown sugar syrup)

Stir ingredients together and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Toss with ribs before serving.

These spare ribs tasted SO good!! I would definitely make them again and again. The only thing I will change next time is that I would put less cornstarch into the end sauce. Other than that, the flavors was absolutely delicious! Thank you! :)

My family loved this recipe. The only thing I would do next time is dump the oil before adding the gravy. I also used six extra drops of food coloring to make it more red.

A bartender friend would save Marichinno cherry syrup for flavor & red coloring. Mmmmm

OMG... shut the front door! This recipe is so well done and scrumptious that I am making it again for the second night in a row :) and believe it or not I made it with firm tofu that was brought to a boil - simmering the tofu for 5 minutes with 1 teaspoon lemon juice, drained, cooled in the fridge, and than browned off in the pan to cook. I followed your recipe like I was cooking Spare Ribs! I could write a book about this recipe but instead I will end it here. DELICIOUS - one more thing - I served it with fried rice - Vegan of course! OK, now I am saying good bye and bon appetite! :)
