Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons oil
• 1 lb pork spareribs, cut into 1 1/4 inch pieces
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar or 2 tablespoons karo brown sugar syrup

Instructions

1. In a skillet, brown the spare ribs and garlic in oil, mashing the garlic in with a fork as it takes on color (remove garlic before it browns). Add salt, soy sauce, vinegar and water.

2. Bring to a boil for 1 minute, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until tender. (If it's barbecue weather, simmer 15 minutes, then finish slowly on grill - basting frequently with liquid from pan).

3. Stir sauce ingredients together and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Toss with ribs before serving.
