Directions
-
Wash the pork spareribs and pat dry. Use a sharp knife to cut the ribs into individual pieces if not already done.
-
Place the chopped green onions in a single layer at the bottom of a large saucepan or Dutch oven.
-
Arrange the pork spareribs evenly on top of the green onions.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, soy sauce, rice wine, water, and rice vinegar until the sugar is partially dissolved.
-
Pour the liquid mixture evenly over the ribs and onions.
-
Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat.
-
Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
-
Simmer covered for approximately 2 hours, or until the pork is very tender and falling off the bone. Check occasionally to ensure liquid does not boil dry; add a splash of water if needed.
-
Carefully remove the lid. Transfer the ribs and sauce to a serving dish. Serve hot with steamed white rice.
