2 green peppers, cut in 6 pieces each
1½ tablespoons cornstarch
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup vinegar
Soy sauce
Cut spareribs into serving portions and brown in a fry pan over moderate heat—about 5 minutes on each side.
Add ½ cup of the water, the raisins, and salt.
Cover pan tightly and cook over very low heat 20 minutes.
Add green peppers. Stir in cornstarch blended with sugar, vinegar, and 1 cup of water.
Cover and continue cooking over low heat for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally and add more water as needed to prevent drying. Before serving add soy sauce to taste.
