Method

1. Coat ribs with marinade for one hour
2. Parboil no. 1 in hot oil.  Once ribs has taken on a slight colour, remove ribs.  Arrange on a plate and steam for one hour. ( I steamed for 1/2 hour as I am running out of time.)   ^_^
3. Coat No. 2 with a little rice flour.  Deep-fry once more, drain well
4. Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl.  Steam sauce till sugar is dissolved
5. Combine No. 3 and no. 4 in a wok and cook briefly.  Dish up.

Tips  

Sauce should not be cooked direct on fire because sugar content is high will become caramel but steamed first.
