we have food at home.

~ingredients:

• 1.5 lb pork spare ribs (1 inch pieces)
• 1 tbsp minced ginger
• 1 tbsp shaoxing wine
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 4 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 cup chicken stock (sub for water if you don’t have stock)
• 1 tbsp honey
• Neutral cooking oil

~instructions: 

1. To prepare and clean the spare ribs, place in a large bowl and rinse under cold water a couple of times. Then, pat dry.
2. Heat up a wok (or pan) on medium-high heat, and add 1 tbsp of cooking oil. 
3. Once the wok starts to smoke, add in the spare ribs and ginger. Sear until browned on all sides (~5 minutes). 
4. Add in shaoxing wine, dark soy sauce, soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, and chicken stock. Stir. 
5. Once the sauce comes to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer. 
6. Cover and simmer the spare ribs in the sauce for 15 minutes. 
7. After 15 minutes, there should still be a bit of liquid left and the spare ribs should be done.
8. Remove the spare ribs from the pan, and set aside.
9. Turn up the heat and add a squeeze of honey to the sauce. Stir until the sauce thickens, it is ready if you’re able to scrape the sauce and it coats your spatula.
10. Turn off the heat once sauce is thickened enough to your liking. 
11. Add the spare ribs back to the sauce, and toss until the spare ribs are coated in the sticky sweet and sour sauce.
12. Serve, and enjoy!
