There are a lot of family variations of how to prepare these sweet and savory pork spare ribs, which are called 1-2-3-4-5 ribs due to the number of tablespoons of ingredients that you add to make the sauce. These ribs are pretty quick to whip up and make an easy meal simply served with white rice.
Prepare your pork spareribs by cleaning and chopping into smaller pieces, about 1” to 2” long pieces.
Add all your sauce ingredients (cooking wine, rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, water) into a saucepan on medium-high heat.
Add your spareribs and cook for 5 minutes in the sauce while covered. Switch to low heat and simmer until the ribs are fully cooked, around 10 minutes depending on the size of your ribs, stirring occasionally.
Take the lid off and reduce the sauce on medium heat, about 2-3 minutes depending on your desired consistency. Serve immediately.
