I got this recipe from my friend Gail Yamanaka. It uses country style spare ribs in a Chinese style sweet and sour sauce.
Ingredients:
3 lbs country-style spareribs
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup white vinegar
15 ounces canned pineapple chunks (packed in its own juice, reserve liquid)
1/4 cup pineapple juice (add water if needed to make 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons dried mustard
Directions:
1. Brown spare ribs in garlic and oil in a heavy pot; drain excess fat.
2. Mix together corn starch and soy sauce and pour over browned spareribs; cook until mixture thickens.
3. Add sugar, vinegar, pineapple, reserved liquid and water, brown sugar and dried mustard.
4. Bring to a boil and when mixture thickens, lower heat
5. Cover; simmer one and one-half hours or until spare ribs are tender.
