    A very tasty treat. I also cooked this in the crockpot and it worked out very well. Next time I'll try to thicken the sauce a bit, although even as it was, I liked it over rice.

    My mom used to make this 1,2,3,4,5 ribs for me when I was a kid in Hong Kong. I think this taste a little different than hers because she used chinese (red) winegar instead of white vinegar. However, this is definitely a 5 stars. I actually put the ribs in the crockpot and cook it high for 4 hours before I serve it. The taste is excellent and the meat falls off from the bone.My husband and kids all love it. The favor is so good. I don't think we need more favor to it unless you want to increase your blood pressure! Anyway, thanks for the great recipe!

    These ribs were quick and easy, but only OK for flavour. I was thinking they would be stickier, but I don't think that could be acheived with the short cooking time. They needed longer to make them tenderer too. We added garlic, chilli, and 5 spice powder which I think improved the flavour, and I would have liked more sauce to go over our rice.
