spareribs

sticky sticky ribs

came out pretty good. I made them with my pops. the recipe is courtesy of my Cuisines of Asia class at school…with a few modifications, I recommend messing with the sauce as much as you want, they are bound to come out sweet, salty, and delicious regardless of most adjustments.

mind you its a pretty huge recipe…we did 1 rack of spare ribs and adjusted the sauce for that amount. Also if you want to do riblets you can have them cut across the bone before cooking them but we did whole ribs.
