SUPER EASY CHINESE SWEET N' SOUR RIBS
This is the way my mom taught me to make sweet and sour pork Taiwan style, it's the real Asian thing (not the 'Americanized' version). At home we call it the 12345 sweet n' sour pork because that's the proportions of the sauce you cook it in :). When I make it I always leave out the rice wine because I never have it at home, but it tastes just about as good! This is good for large groups, as it is easy to double/triple and is great on steamed rice!

Steps:
- Boil about 1 L of water in a pot, or enough to cover the ribs.
- Carefully drop the ribs in the boiling water, stir til outside browns, roughly 1 minute (this is to clean out the blood in the ribs so your sauce won't have the 'foamy stuff' later).
- Drain ribs, put in a medium sized pot big enough for the ribs to be layed down in one layer. A deeper pan will work too.
- Add rice wine, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and water in the pot (you don't need to follow the measurements, I usually take a ladle and use 1 ladle of rice wine, 2 vinegar 3 sugar etc).
- Bring to a boil for about 10 minutes then reduce to a simmer.
- Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is very dark and almost dry or to your desired thickness, roughly half an hour.
- Be careful not to dry all the sauce out, the sauce will reduce much quicker in the final stage, so keep an eye on it.
- Serve with steamed rice and stir fried veggies for a great Chinese meal!

Tips:
- To make the best sweet and sour pork ribs, start with high-quality pork ribs. Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
- When marinating the ribs, be sure to use a flavorful marinade that will penetrate the meat. A good marinade will contain a mixture of savory, sweet, and sour ingredients.
- Cook the ribs slowly and low until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. This will ensure that the ribs are juicy and flavorful.
- Make the sweet and sour sauce while the ribs are cooking. This will give the sauce time to develop its flavors.
- When serving the ribs, be sure to smother them in the sweet and sour sauce. This will give the ribs a delicious glaze and make them even more irresistible.
Conclusion:
Sweet and sour pork ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving them at a party or enjoying them as a family meal, these ribs are sure to be a hit.
