The Best Sweet and Sour Ribs

pork ribs
Our sweet and sour ribs are a delicious combination of bell pepper, pineapple, and other spices. I often make them up on weekends and at parties as they go over so well. The ribs are also great for a game night. They are combined with an incredible sauce.

Ingredients
  • 1 kilogram pork ribs cut up
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons corn starch
  • salt and pepper according to taste
  • 1 small onion, sliced and cut
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 small green bell pepper, cubed
  • 1/2 can drained pineapple chunks - 1/2 cup
  • To Make the Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
Instructions
  1. Add the ribs, egg, corn starch, salt, and pepper to a mixing bow. Using your hands, mix until the ribs are completely coated.

  2. To make the sauce, add the ingredients to a large measuring cup and mix until well combined.

  3. Add some oil to a wok or frying pan over medium high heat.

  4. After the oil raises to about 350 degrees F or 180 C, add the ribs and fry them in batches until cooked though, browned, and crispy. This will take about 6 or 7 minutes.

  5. Drain the grease off and set them aside on a wire rack. I usually use a straining spider to do this.

  6. Drain most of the grease from the pan and add in the onion, garlic, ginger, bell pepper, and pineapple chunks. Toss and fry, over medium hight heat, until the garlic is fragrant and the bell peppers begin to soften.

  7. Add the sauce in and bring to a boil.

  8. After a boil, place the ribs back in and toss until the ribs are completely coated.

  9. Serve and enjoy your sweet and sour ribs.
