Chinese Braised Spare Ribs

For people who don’t want tons of sugar in their rubs, it’s a nice change to provide lighter ribs. When I don’t have spare ribs, I have pork chops.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add the spareribs, and cook uncovered for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside.
