I LOVED this recipe! So did my husband. I did make some changes though. I didn't put in mushrooms, and instead of the chilli sauce I put in crushed red pepper flakes. When it was done cooking the sauce was way to runny to use so I put some in a pot and added some cornstarch! It turned out amazing!!

This is a nice change from barbecue ribs. It is very good.

These ribs are beyond description. I did mine in the crockpot. Four hours on "high" had them falling off the bone. I'm not a fan of sweet spare ribs, so this recipe was exactly what I was looking for. The only change I made was to add a bit of cayenne pepper to the sauce they cooked in. As far as I'm concerned, this is the only rib recipe I'll ever need.

this is a good recipe but the sauce and the hour of cooking does not make for tender ribs. i think you may want to cook the ribs for another 1/2 hour or boil them for 15-30 minutes.

This is a great recipe, and called for ingredients I had on hand. (Except I used canned mushrooms instead of fresh, and adobo sauce instead of chili sauce.) I also liked the quick prep time. My husband took a second helping of mashed potatoes just so he could eat more sauce!

My sister and my very picky cousin loves this simple recipe, I just thought it was okay. The good part is it makes a lot of sauce so you can use it as a gravy for a side of mashed potatoes. The taste is kindda sour not really sweet (after all they're called lime spareribs). Good overall recipe, thanks Christine!

My family gave this a 3. I agree it was okay not outstanding. The recipe when printed does not tell you what to do with the olive oil. I would not make again.

These were amazing. I used another reviewers suggestion and cooked the ribs in a cooking bag and they were tendy and juicy! And so easy! Certainly will be made again at my house.

We fixed these tonight in hopes for an extra good dinner. I was really disappointed! There wasn't even a hint of lime flavoring (and I even used the same amount called for in the recipe). I think the soy sauce way overpowered all of the other flavors in this recipe. It was just way too salty. Thanks anyway, Christine!
