Gingered Spareribs With Brown Sugar And Soy Recipe - Cooking Index
"My paternal grandmother liked to serve these spareribs on special occasions," writes Lyn Utsugi of Kamuela, Hawaii. "She was a great cook and even owned a restaurant on Oahu in the late 1950s. My mother learned the recipe from her and has been making the ribs since 1961, the year she married my father."

Add garlic and ginger to pot; saute 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce. Stir to blend. Return ribs to pot.
