Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
poundsPork ribs, trimmed
¾cupSugar
½cupVinegar
5tablespoonsSoy sauce
3tablespoonsSherry
4cupsCooking oil

Directions

1. Cut the ribs between the bones into single pieces. Heat the sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and sherry to a boil. Pour over the ribs and marinate for at least one hour. 2. Heat the oil in a large wok. Add the ribs and fry for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Turn off heat and allow to continue cooking an additional 4 minutes. Remove, drain, and serve. The sweet sauce, what we call honey, is our special touch.

The ribs, if prepared perfectly, will be crisp on the outside, sweet and tender on the inside.
