Super Easy Chinese Sweet N Sour Ribs Recipes

CHINESE SWEET AND SOUR SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Combine pork ribs, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon rice wine, and salt in a large bowl. Marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• Heat oil in a wok or deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook ribs in the hot oil until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
• Bring remaining 1 teaspoon rice wine, sugar, and water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in ribs; reduce heat and simmer until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Stir in black vinegar. Increase heat to high; cook and stir until sauce thickens and coats the ribs, 1 to 2 minutes.

SUPER EASY CHINESE SWEET N' SOUR RIBS

Steps:

• Boil about 1 L of water in a pot, or enough to cover the ribs.
• Carefully drop the ribs in the boiling water, stir til outside browns, roughly 1 minute (this is to clean out the blood in the ribs so your sauce won't have the 'foamy stuff' later).
• Drain ribs, put in a medium sized pot big enough for the ribs to be layed down in one layer. A deeper pan will work too.
• Add rice wine, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and water in the pot (you don't need to follow the measurements, I usually take a ladle and use 1 ladle of rice wine, 2 vinegar 3 sugar etc).
• Bring to a boil for about 10 minutes then reduce to a simmer.
• Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is very dark and almost dry or to your desired thickness, roughly half an hour.
• Be careful not to dry all the sauce out, the sauce will reduce much quicker in the final stage, so keep an eye on it.
• Serve with steamed rice and stir fried veggies for a great Chinese meal!
