Preparation

• Cut the spare ribs between the bone. Wash. Drain.Set Aside.
  In a pan, heat oil. Brown the pork ribs, both sides.
  Add in garlic and ginger.
  Put all the ingredients. Lower the heat. Cover.
  Let simmer for 45minutes to 1 hr or until the meat is tender. Add some water if needed.
  The minced onions also gives a nice thickness to the sauce. When done cooking, there should be a little sauce left (but my daughter loves the sauce, so she wants more of it).
  Garnish with spring onions, leaks, sesame seeds ~ whatever you prefer. I added pineapple chunks.
  This serves 6-8 persons. Enjoy!
