Mom's 'Sweet 'n' Sours' Pork Ribs

SUBMITTED BY: HOWITZER PHOTO BY: seattle stacey

"My Mom's longtime recipe that she learned from my grandmother who has long passed on. Combines soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, dry mustard, garlic, as well as a few other simple ingredients to make a delicious sauce for sweet and sour cut ribs. Great over rice! Some say rice and this sauce is their favorite food! A Lechner family tradition!"
