Family Recipe 09 - Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs (Non-Fried Version)

Ingredients: Pork ribs (spare ribs are best), sugar, salt, vinegar, rice wine, soy sauce, black vinegar Instructions: 1. Cut the ribs into finger-length pieces. Put them in a pot, add rice wine and water, and boil until cooked. Then, rinse with clean water to remove the scum from the surface. (The water used to boil the ribs, after removing the scum, can be saved as broth, frozen, and used for future cooking or soups.) 2. Heat oil in a pan and fry the ribs until golden brown on the surface. 3. Prepare the sauce beforehand with a ratio of vinegar 4, sugar 3, soy sauce 2, and rice wine 1. After frying the ribs until golden brown, add the sauce and stir-fry briefly. Add water to cover the ribs, and once the liquid boils, reduce to low heat and simmer for 1 hour (you can cover it). 4. Turn up the heat to reduce the sauce. Stir the ribs frequently during this process to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot. Once the sauce thickens, turn off the heat. Add black vinegar before serving, and you can also sprinkle some sesame seeds for garnish. During the simmering process of this dish, the vinegar will evaporate, so if you have respiratory issues, it's best not to stay nearby. If possible, keep the range hood on.
