Sweet-and-sour spare ribs from Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook: Recipes from Hunan Province by Fuchsia Dunlop

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This is fantastic -- and I adhered to her advice, boiling without deep frying. In truth, the pan frying she calls for after the boil does a fair amount of browning and the syrup of caramelized sugar and dark soy takes care of the rest. I often make Vietnamese caramelized ribs (w/ fish sauce and sugar) and this rivals them in flavor. Ridiculously easy, too. I don't use this book as often as I should.

    p. 58 Wow! What on earth can I say other than we absolutely loved this. It was so good we dipped our spoons into the serving dish to scoop up the very last dregs of the sauce to mix in w our remaining rice. One of our favourites from the book and I’d go as far as saying that this was the very best sweet and sour recipe I’ve ever made. The deep mahogany colour of the pork was a thing of beauty too. If you like ribs, you’ll love this. Wonderful! Photos here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/892279#7967771
