Homestyle Sweet And Sour Spareribs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (3 lb.) rack spareribs
3 Tbsp. sherry
1/3 c. cider vinegar
1/8-inch piece fresh ginger root, flattened
1 to 2 dried chili peppers, broken in half (optional)
1 can pineapple chunks
2 tsp. water
3 Tbsp. black soy sauce
1/4 c. brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, peeled and flattened
1/2 c. water or pineapple juice from fruit
2 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. sesame oil

Preparation

Trim excess fat from spareribs and cut into 2-inch lengths. Put a large, heavy frying pan or a wok over high heat.
Sprinkle about a teaspoon of salt into it.
When the pan is hot, add half the spareribs.
The ribs will brown in their own fat.
Stir the ribs around so they won't burn; they should be brown on all sides within 10 minutes.
