Chinese Recipe : Deep Fried Pork Spareribs with Tomato Sauce

This is a Southern Chinese recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 lb pork sparerib or country style spareribs
• Oil for deep frying

Marinade:

• 3 tbsps soy sauce
• 2 tbsps dry sherry
• 1 tbsp ginger juice
• 2 tbsp cornstarch

Sauce:

• 1 ½ tbsp oil
• 1 ½ tsp salt
• 2 tbsps Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ cup tomato ketchup
• 6 tbsps sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch

Garnish:

• 6-8 scallion flowers (see note)

Directions:

1. Cut the meat into strips, 1 inch wide and 2 inches long. Put into a saucepan, cover with boiling water and boil until the meat changes color. Drain well.
2. Mix together the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl. Add the spareribs and leave for 30 minutes. Drain, reserving the marinade.
3. Heat the oil to 180°C/350°F. Deep fry the spareribs until golden brown. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper, arrange on a serving plate and keep warm.
4. To make the sauce, place the ingredients, with the reserved marinade, in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Pour over the spareribs and serve hot, garnished with scallion flowers.

Note: To prepare the garnish, shred the scallion tops to within ½ inch of the base. Leave in a bowl of iced water until open, then drain.
