Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 to 4 pounds spareribs, cut into 2-inch sections
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1/3 cup sugar
5 nickel-size pieces of ginger
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup chopped scallions

Steps:

  • Place a large skillet that can hold ribs in one layer over high heat. Add ribs and 1 cup water. Boil, turning ribs occasionally, until liquid has evaporated. Reduce heat to medium, and brown ribs in their own fat, turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat. Shake pan occasionally until seeds brown slightly and begin to pop.
  • Add garlic and half the sesame seeds to skillet with ribs, and stir. Cook 30 seconds. Add sugar, ginger, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1/2 cup water. Turn heat to medium-high, and cook, turning ribs occasionally, until liquid is thick and dark. If ribs are tender at this point, they are ready. If not, add another 1/2 cup water and continue to cook until they are.
  • Add the salt and pepper to taste and the remaining sesame seeds and sesame oil. Stir the dish once, sprinkle with scallions, and serve.
