ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 1⁄4 lbs pork spareribs, cut in 2-inch by 1-inch pieces
- 1⁄2 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 cup rice wine or 1 cup dry white wine
- 1⁄4 cup shaoxing wine or 1/4 cup dry sherry
- 1⁄8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, to taste
- 1⁄4 teaspoon five-spice powder
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup or 2 tablespoons honey
directions
- In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium flame until it shimmers. Add ribs and brown on all sides, 3-5 minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, cover and cook 45 minutes. Check occasionally, and add a little water if it appears to be drying out (it shouldn't).
- Remove the lid and skim off any excess fat. Continue cooking until the sauce is reduced to a thick, sticky glaze, 10-15 minutes. Watch carefully, stirring occasionally, to be sure it doesn't burn.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
