How to cook sweet and spicy pork ribs
Making some sweet and spicy pork ribs has never been easier when you follow this recipe. Have this appetising dish on your table in around one hour of preparation.
Start this recipe with boiling the spareribs with salt and ginger. This is done to pre-cook the meat and to remove the scum or impurities.
These are not dirt, but are gelatin proteins which comes from the meat. It makes the dish less appetising if not removed, so make sure to skim them off.
Saute the aromatics and the meat. Then, add the rest of the recipes. The Sprite is already sweet but you can add further sugar if you like it sweeter.
It will take around 30 – 45 minutes for the spareribs to become well cooked and tender.
The last step is to raise the heat to make the sauce reduced faster. Just make sure that it would not burn. — https://yummykitchentv.com
