Recipe Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, place the spareribs in a large, shallow roasting pan, ensuring they’re arranged evenly.
-
Initial Bake: Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven, leaving the ribs uncovered. Let them bake for approximately 1 and a half hours, allowing them to cook through and develop a delicious tenderness.
-
Prepare the Sauce: While the ribs are in the oven, take a medium saucepan and combine the brown sugar, sugar, and cornstarch. Stir them together until well mixed.
-
Add Flavor: To the sugar mixture, add the ketchup, vinegar, and water. Stir the ingredients together until they form a smooth consistency.
-
Thicken and Boil: Bring the saucepan to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent any lumps from forming. Allow the mixture to simmer until it thickens and becomes clear, indicating that it’s ready.
-
Final Touches: Once the ribs are done baking, remove them from the oven and discard any excess fat that may have accumulated.
-
Sauce Application: Return the ribs to the roasting pan and generously pour 1 and a half cups of the prepared sauce over them, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
-
Finishing Touches: Place the pan back in the oven and let the ribs bake for an additional 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together, creating a truly mouthwatering dish.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once fully cooked, remove the ribs from the oven and carefully cut them into individual serving-size pieces. For an extra burst of flavor, brush each piece with a bit more of the delicious sauce before serving.
Tips:
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes to the sauce mixture.
- Serve these Sweet & Sour Saucy Spareribs alongside steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
- Make sure to adjust the baking time according to the thickness of the spareribs to ensure they’re cooked to perfection.
With its irresistible blend of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors, these Sweet & Sour Saucy Spareribs are sure to become a favorite at any gathering or family dinner. Enjoy the tender, melt-in-your-mouth goodness with every bite! 🎉
