Ingredients

3 1/2 lbs boneless country-style pork spareribs, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 garlic cloves, chopped
4 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, chopped and peeled
1 (14 ounce) can low sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon dry crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
stir-fried cabbage

Preparation

Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat.
Add 1/3 of pork to pot and saute until brown, about 6 minutes; transfer to bowl.
Repeat with remaining pork.
Add garlic, green onions, and ginger to pot; saute 1 minute.
Return pork and any juices to pot.
Add 1 1/2 cups broth, soy sauce, sugar, crushed red pepper, and five-spice powder; bring to boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until pork is very tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Stir remaining broth and cornstarch in cup to dissolve; mix into pork.
Simmer until gravy thickens, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
Season with pepper.
(Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly and chill. Rewarm over low heat.)
