Everyone who tastes this requests the recipe
It’s really different from the sweet & sour pork you get at Chinese restaurants
This recipe is from my gr&mother & was originally written to be made in an electric fry pan
I usually just brown the meat in a fry pan & then throw it in the crockpot with the sauce & let it cook on low heat all afternoon
But here it is as originally written:
3 lb country style pork ribs
1 tablespoon shortening
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tps salt
1/4 tps pepper
1 1/2 Tbspsugar
3/4 cup vinegar
4 Tbspsoy sauce
1/4 tps ground ginger
Pre-heat fry pan to 350 deg F
Brown ribs in shortening till golden brown
Reduce heat to simmer or about 212 deg F
Mix together garlic, salt, pepper, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce & ginger
Pour half of mixture over ribs
Braise for about 1 1/2 hrs
Pour remainder of sauce over for last hour
Approximate time: 3 hrs
