This Sweet and Sour Sparerib recipe uses the more reasonable side ribs, in which the rack has been cut into 2 or 3 long pieces. Look in the grocery store for “Sweet and Sour” style ribs.
These ribs are a boiled, fried and baked. Don’t use too much pineapple or pineapple in big chunks, because it will overpower the flavour of the sweet and sour.
This is a perfect entree for a cool spring day, served on rice with a nice green salad.
