Preparation:
Use a sharp knife to cut between the spareribs. Put the green onions in the bottom of a large saucepan. Place the spareribs on top of the green onions.
Add the wine, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat to low. Cook about 2 hours, then serve hot.
I suggest you serve it with white rice to soak up all the liquid. I think the name is supposed to indicate how simple it is - it's from an old Chinese cookbook |
