Joe’s Sweet ‘n Sour Spareribs

A bowl of glossy, succulent Sweet ‘n Sour Spareribs coated in a rich, sticky sauce. The ribs are garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, adding freshness and texture. The shiny glaze highlights the savory-sweet flavor of the dish, making it look incredibly appetizing.

These sweet and sour spareribs are tender, flavorful, and coated in a rich, tangy sauce made with soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and garlic. The combination of savory, sweet, and a little spice makes this dish perfect for serving with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or an Asian-style slaw. The ribs are boiled to tenderize, browned for a crisp exterior, and simmered in the sauce until they’re fall-apart delicious.
