The sauce is crafted with 2 tablespoons of vinegar, half a tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce, half a tablespoon of soy sauce. Then, add half a tablespoon of broth powder and 3 tablespoons of filtered water. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients dissolve and blend together.

Step 5: Rimming the sweet and sour ribs

• After frying the ribs, lift them out of the pan and drain excess oil, leaving a small amount for sautéing garlic and onions.
• If you enjoy spicy flavors, add minced chili to a bowl of prepared sauce. Add 50ml of filtered water to dilute the sauce, mix well, and pour it into the pan along with the ribs.
• Rim the ribs over high heat for about 5 minutes, then reduce the heat and continue rimming until the mixture thickens, and the ribs absorb the flavors.

There are numerous delightful dishes you can create with ribs, each recipe yielding a different delicious outcome. So, what sets apart the two methods of making sweet and sour glazed ribs and stir-fried sweet and sour ribs?

Stir-frying is a rapid cooking technique that involves tossing food back and forth in a pan with a small amount of oil.

Rimming is a cooking method where food is prepared by simmering with minimal water in a pot over low heat for a specific duration. The result is intensely savory, with a beautifully golden caramelized color.

Sweet and sour glazed ribs and stir-fried sweet and sour ribs share similar cooking methods and sauces. The difference lies in rimming, where sweet and sour glazed ribs involve a small amount of water and low heat until thickened, while stir-fried sweet and sour ribs evenly toss the meat to absorb flavors and sauce.
