Cooking Instructions:
Heat oil up to 180℃ or 350℉. We'll be frying the pork twice. Fry pork for about 1 to 2 minutes. Careful not to overcook. Coating should still look pale yellow.
Before second fry make sure oil is back up to temperature. Fry the spare ribs for another minute. The color should be one shade darker. Remove and set aside because it's time to make the sweet and sour sauce.
Put two tablespoons of cooking oil to hot wok or pan. Add minced ginger and garlic. Cook for 15 seconds make sure to move around so it won't burn. Add onions and bell peppers. Cook until slight softened and onions start turning translucent. Add the sauce and cook until it starts to boil and reduces slightly.
Then toss in the fried spare ribs and coat with sauce. Turn off the heat and add the scallions. It's done and ready to enjoy with a bowl of rice and frosty beer!
