  1. Wow! This is a great dish. I followed Judy Jansen's suggestion and doubled the sauce. So glad I did because this sauce is wonderful. (I thicken the sauce with corn starch because we like a thicker sauce). I served this over brown rice...wonderful meal! Thanks again LeeAnn Duch for another great recipe! :-)
     
  2. I really liked this recipe but my family only thought it was so, so. Will keep it and maybe try it again and see if they like it better next time.
     
  3. I cooked the ribs a little differently...Followed the recipe ingredients but basted it onto ribs during the last half hour of cooking them in the oven (about 2 hours total). Then basted them again when I took them out....They were delicious! The family loved them! Served the leftover sauce on the side....Will make this sauce again, thanks!!
     
  4. WONDERFUL! I didn't have rice vinegar so I used apple cider vinegar and it turned out so yummy. I added a bit more fresh ginger/garlic as I love those flavors. Meat fell off the bone and the sauce was great over rice. I used the sweet/sour cut of spareribs. Will be making again soon because it was sooo easy and tasty and a great lazy day meal!
     
  5. this was a winner! though in the future i would rather lessen the amount of sugar indicated in this recipe. thanks and keep it up!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm 41y/o wife and mother of 2. I've been a nurse for 20 years. We live in a small town in Arkansas. My passion is cooking. I love to cook anything and everything. Luckily my family is adventerous in their eating habits, so I have lots of fun trying new things out on them. I also like camping, traveling, gardening,water sports and collecting recipes. I like getting to know other people from other parts of the world. We have 5 pets, 2 dogs and 3 ferrets. My worst pet peeve is when people stick their nose up at a dish before trying it, because they know a certain ingredient is in it. I know everyone has different tastes, but picky eaters just don't know what they are missing when they turn down a dish they havent even tried.
