Notes
Cooking Tips for Sweet and Spicy Spareribs:
- Let the spareribs sit in their seasoned liquid for around an hour before cooking. This allows the flavors to deeply absorb into the meat. Alternatively, you can leave them marinating overnight in the fridge for an even richer taste.
- Before frying, give the spareribs a gentle simmer in the marinade first. Cooking them partially in the flavorful liquid helps make them tender and infused with deliciousness. It ensures they'll turn out perfectly cooked after frying.
- When coating the spareribs in flour before frying, make sure every inch is evenly covered. A smooth, consistent coating helps achieve a satisfyingly crisp texture while sealing juices inside for moist, tender meat.
- Adjust the sweet chili sauce amount to suit your tastes. Use more for a bolder, spicier kick or less for a milder flavor profile.
