Spareribs in Black Bean Sauce

Submitted by Chef #591330

"Had this recipe about 30 years, still one of my favorite and a hit at family get togethers. Found it in an Hawaiian-Chinese cookbook. Ribs are the sweet and sour kind. Black beans are the ones in plastic bags in the Asian section. Bottled black beans don't work as well."
