Chinese Sweet-And-Sour Spareribs

This traditional Chinese recipe, served with its renowned sauce that can enhance a variety of dishes, is easily adapted to the pot. It proved to be one of our most successful experiments, and you'll find yourself going back to it again and again.

Ask your butcher for "country-style" spareribs, so much meatier than the usual kind. Sesame oil, used in small quantities as much for its aroma as its taste, is standard for the finishing touch of many Chinese dishes.
