Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 lbs well-trimmed pork spareribs, cut into individual ribs
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon peeled minced fresh ginger
3/4 cup packed golden brown sugar
3/4 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in
1 tablespoon cold water (optional)
steamed white rice
Directions:
Heat oil in large wide shallow pot over medium-high heat.
Working in batches, add ribs and brown on all sides, about 8 minute.
Transfer ribs to a large bowl.
Add garlic and ginger to pot; saute 30 seconds.
Add brown sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce.
Stir to blend.
Return ribs to pot.
Cover pot and simmer over medium-low heat until meat is tender, turning ribs occasionally, about 45 minutes.
If sauce is thin, gradually add cornstarch mixture to ribs and simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
