MOM'S 'SWEET 'N' SOURS' PORK RIBS

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the sugar, flour, salt, pepper, and mustard. Stir in the water, soy sauce, and vinegar.
• Place the ribs in a pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, cook 10 minutes, and drain.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and brown the ribs on all sides. Mix in the sauce mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 30 minutes. Mix in the garlic, and continue cooking 15 minutes, or to desired doneness.

SWEET AND SOUR SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Place ribs on a rack in a large shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-1/2 hours. , Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, ketchup, vinegar and water until smooth. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove ribs and rack from pan. Drain and discard fat. Return ribs to roasting pan; drizzle 1-1/2 cups sauce over ribs. Bake 30 minutes longer. Cut ribs into serving-size pieces; brush with remaining sauce.

SWEET AND SOUR BRAISED BEEF RIBS

Steps:

• Lightly salt and pepper all sides of the short ribs. Set aside.
• Add the vegetable oil to a heavy-bottomed pot, much like a Le Creuset or Staub. (You'll want to use a pot with a tight-fitting lid.) Turn the heat to medium and allow the oil to heat up. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Fry the short ribs for 3-4 minutes on each side. You're not cooking the beef all the way though, but just browning the outside and searing the meat. Do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. A good rule of thumb is to prevent the short ribs from touching each other or the sides of the pan. Place the cooked meat on a plate while the next batch is cooking. Once all ribs have been seared, drain the oil and carefully wipe out the pot with paper towel.
• Next, whisk together the brown sugar, vinegar, water, mustard, ketchup, and soy sauce. Stir in the onions. Set aside.
• Pile the cooked short ribs back into the pot. Pour the sauce mixture over top. Move the short ribs around so that they are covered by the sauce as much as possible. Place a lid on the pot and bake for two hours, checking and gently stirring every 30 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Bake for 15 more minutes with the lid off. This will thicken the sauce. Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove from oven and serve.

SWEET AND TANGY SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat bacon drippings in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Place spareribs in the skillet, and brown on each side for about 5 minutes. Season with garlic salt and pepper.
• In a medium bowl, mix mustard, molasses, soy sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce.
• Place browned ribs in a large baking dish. Cover with the mustard sauce mixture.
• Bake 2 1/2 to 3 hours in the preheated oven, basting occasionally with the sauce mixture, to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

BRAISED SWEET AND SOUR SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from the spareribs. Rinse in cold water and pat dry with paper towels until almost dry to the touch. Place spareribs in a 3 quart saucepan. Sprinkle them with sugar and toss to combine. Marinate 30 minutes. Pour off excess liquid. To the same pan, add thin and black soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, rice wine, and 1/2 cup cold water, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat. Covered. Reduce to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally to make sure the sauce does not dry up (add a little water if necessary), for 1 hour, or until the spareribs are tender when pierced with a knife and the sauce is thick enough to lightly coat a spoon. Transfer to a plate and skim excess fat from sauce. Pour sauce over the spareribs. Serve immediately.
