CHINESE BRAISED SPARE RIBS
For people who don't want tons of sugar in their rubs, it's a nice change to provide lighter ribs. When I don't have spare ribs, I have pork chops.

Steps:
- Trim fat and cut spareribs into individual pieces suitable for stir-frying. Blanch spareribs with 2.5 cups of hot water to rinse away fat and blood.
- Drain ribs, and season ribs with the soy sauce, cooking wine, chilli. Mix well.
- Drain preserved vegetables and chop into 1" pieces, crush garlic and halve if necessary, slice and dice chillies.
- Set aside the remaining 2.5 cups of hot water to be added into the wok during simmering.
- Heat 2 tbs oil in a wok or saucepan on medium flame/heat. Fry garlic in oil till fragrant, then add spareribs and seasoning into wok, reducing heat if necessary to prevent splatter.
- Continue stir frying for about a minute, spareribs should be about half-cooked, then add the preserved vegetables, and continue stir-frying, till fragrant, roughly another half a minute.
- Add the 2.5 cups of hot water to the wok, leave it to simmer for about 20 minutes on low-med heat, and you're done!
- You can add more soy sauce/sugar/water to taste at this point, adding more seasoning and water can turn this dish into more of a soupy nature as well, great during winter!

PORK SPARERIBS
These irresistible ribs are an import from China that have been adopted-and adapted-by Japanese cooks. I like to prepare them with classic Chinese five-spice seasoning, because I love the rich fragrance and flavors of this mixture of cinnamon, anise seed, star anise, cloves, and ginger. But many cooks in Japan prefer to make the spareribs with simply sansho pepper or freshly ground black pepper and salt (use 1 teaspoon of either pepper with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt). Try these different spice combinations to see which ones you like best!

Steps:
- Heat a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot with 4 inches of vegetable oil to 300°F.
- To make the marinade, combine the garlic, mirin, soy sauce, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the spareribs and turn to coat the ribs well. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- To make the salad, combine the cabbage and carrots in a bowl. Combine the vinegar, water, sesame oil, chili oil, sugar, and salt in a small pot. Bring to a boil, then pour the liquid over the cabbage and carrots. Mix well and set aside until it cools to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Remove the ribs from the marinade and wipe off excess marinade. Line a tray with paper towels. Place the potato starch on a plate and dredge the spareribs in the starch to lightly coat. Add half of the ribs to the hot oil. Fry until the ribs are cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove and set on the paper towel-lined tray to absorb the excess oil, then add the remaining spareribs to the fryer and repeat.
- Heat an 11-inch nonstick pan over high heat and add 1/4 teaspoon each of the black pepper, salt, and Chinese five-spice powder. Add half of the fried spareribs and cook quickly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, until cooked through, adding more seasoning, if necessary. Repeat with the remaining spareribs and 1/4 teaspoon each of spices.
- To serve, arrange 1/4 cup of the cabbage salad in the center of 4 plates and top with one-fourth of the pineapple pieces and cilantro. Place 3 spareribs around each cabbage salad and serve.

Tips:
- To make the spareribs more flavorful, marinate them in the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, ginger, garlic, and green onions for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you don't have preserved vegetables, you can substitute some other vegetables, such as pickled cabbage, sauerkraut, or kimchi.
- If you like your spareribs with a little more heat, add a teaspoon or two of chili oil to the sauce.
