  Categories: Oriental, Meats
       Yield: 4 Servings
  
       3 lb Spareribs, cut crosswise *
            *into 3 or 4 sections
 
 MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
   2 1/2 tb Fermented black beans
       2    Garlic cloves; chopped
       2 tb Light soy sauce
       2 tb Chinese rice wine
            -or dry sherry
       1 ts Sugar
   2 1/2 c  Chicken broth
 
 MMMMM--------------------------GARNISH-------------------------------
       2 tb Chopped scallion tops
  
   CUT THE STRIPS OF RIBS between the bones into riblets. Stir-fry the
   spareribs in a wok over high heat to brown them in their own fat
   (about 4 minutes). (You may want to start them off with a tablespoon
   of peanut oil.) Drain off the fat and add the sauce ingredients
   except the broth. Mix them well. Add the broth and reduce the heat.
   Let the ribs simmer 60 minutes. Remove the ribs to a serving plate
   and garnish them with the scallion tops. (The liquid in the wok can
   be skimmed of fat and thickened with cornstarch to make a sauce, if
   you like.) Serves 4 to 6 as a main course.
