• Add cooking oil and smashed rock sugar in wok, heat over slow fire. Keep stirring until the sugar melts and turns into dark red.
• Add ribs to coat the sugar color, place light soy sauce, cooking wine and black vinegar. Continue stir fry for 2 minutes and pour enough hot water to cover and add ginger, green onion and star anise.
• Cover the lid and simmer for 25 minutes over slowest fire. Stir once or twice in the process. Pick the ginger, green onion and star anise out in the later stage.
• Turn up the fire and thicken the fire. Keep stirring and stop when the sauce is almost adhered to the ribs. Be carefully in the last minutes, do not get your ribs overcooked.
• Add extra 1 teaspoon of black vinegar and sesame seeds. Combine well.
• Garnish chopped spring onions before serving.

Steps:

• Trim off fat from the ribs, and then cut ribs into 1.5" bite-size pieces.
• Put ribs into a pot filled with water, then bring to a boil for 3-4 mins until there's no more blood.
• Drain water and scum from the pot, quickly rinse ribs, and place back on the stove.
• Put all marinade ingredients into the pot with the pork spare ribs. Note: you can also add additional seasonings like 2 minced garlic cloves, 2-3 slices of ginger, and white pepper.
• Bring to a boil, then decrease heat to low. Simmer with lid for 45-50 mins until pork spare ribs are tender and fall off the bone.
• Add more salt and white pepper to taste.
• Serve over rice or with your favorite sides and enjoy!
• Note: you can also refrigerate the meat and sauce separately, to skim the congealed fat from the top of the sauce the next day. Then combine both again.

SUPER EASY CHINESE SWEET N' SOUR RIBS

Steps:

• Boil about 1 L of water in a pot, or enough to cover the ribs.
• Carefully drop the ribs in the boiling water, stir til outside browns, roughly 1 minute (this is to clean out the blood in the ribs so your sauce won't have the 'foamy stuff' later).
• Drain ribs, put in a medium sized pot big enough for the ribs to be layed down in one layer. A deeper pan will work too.
• Add rice wine, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and water in the pot (you don't need to follow the measurements, I usually take a ladle and use 1 ladle of rice wine, 2 vinegar 3 sugar etc).
• Bring to a boil for about 10 minutes then reduce to a simmer.
• Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is very dark and almost dry or to your desired thickness, roughly half an hour.
• Be careful not to dry all the sauce out, the sauce will reduce much quicker in the final stage, so keep an eye on it.
• Serve with steamed rice and stir fried veggies for a great Chinese meal!

• Bring remaining 1 teaspoon rice wine, sugar, and water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in ribs; reduce heat and simmer until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Stir in black vinegar. Increase heat to high; cook and stir until sauce thickens and coats the ribs, 1 to 2 minutes.
