When Bei spent an evening cooking with us in early 2002, we could not believe that this recipe really had only three ingredients. The flavor is wonderful, and this is a very rewarding dish, for one that demands so little of you!
Have your butcher cut into 2-3 cm segments:
1 kg pork spareribs
Cut the spareribs into sections of one rib apiece. Place in a large wok or other large skillet and just cover with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until meat is cooked. Add:
125 ml sugar
Continue simmering until water is evaporated and pork is browned.
