Chinese Sweet & Spicy Spareribs are a tasty alternative to American spareribs. Spareribs are a variety of pork ribs, cooked and eaten in various cuisines around the world. In Chinese cuisine, spare ribs are generally first cut into 3-4 inch sections, then may be fried, steamed, or braised. In the Cantonese cuisine of southern China, spare ribs are generally red in color and roasted with a sweet and savory sauce. This variety of spare ribs, called "char siu", is grouped as one of the most common items of "siu mei", or Cantonese roasted meat dishes.
