    Utensils Used
    | 1. Separate the ribs if the butcher hasn't already done so. They should be roughly bite-size. | 2. Marinate ribs with wine and soy sauce for 30 minutes. | 3. Remove ribs from marinade, reserving marinade for later. | 4. Heat peanut oil (about 6 cups) in wok until it's almost smoking. | 5. Deep fry ribs for 2 minutes, remove from oil with slotted spoon, reheat oil, and fry for another 1/2 minute until brown. (This is Pei Mei's method. Bruce Cost recommends deep-frying for 5-8 minutes.) Remove ribs from oil. | 6. Pour oil out of wok into a heatproof bowl (stainless steel or glass). (Once it's cool, you can strain it into glass jar for next time). | 7. To soy sauce marinade, add sugar, vinegar, corn starch mixture, sesame oil, and green onion to make sweet-sour sauce. | 8. Heat one tablespoon of oil in the wok, pour in the sweet-sour sauce, and boil and stir until thickened. | 9. Throw ribs into the wok with the sauce, and stir to coat thoroughly. | 10. Serve on a platter, hot or at room temperature. | 11. As the sole meat dish, this is enough for 2-3 people, but as part of a full meal with a variety of dishes, it serves up to 8 or 10. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
