I've found it's difficult now to get real "country style pork ribs". Most of
what I see in the stupidmarket is pieces of pork without any bones but when I do
find old-fashioned country-style pork ribs I like to use the following recipe.

Sweet Dry-Cooked Spareribs

Recipe By :How to Cook and Eat in Chinese`
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Pork

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 pounds Country-style spareribs
2 cups water
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons sherry
1/4 cup pineapple or some fresh fruit

Wash ribs. If using regular ribs, cut into separate pieces with a bone and some
meat on each.

Put ribs, water, sauce and salt in a boiling pot. Use big fire till it boils,
then turn down fire to simmer for 1 hour or 40 minutes if meat is tenderly
bought.

Put ribs together with the juice in a frying pan. Now add the sugar, sherry and
fruit. Use big fire and stir constantly until all the water evaporates and all
the sauce seems to have wrapped around the meat.

NOTES : I mix the sugar, etc. in the water and then add the ribs back into the
frying pan. It's easier to get it well mixed.
This can be kept in the oven for a while before eating.
