Honey Garlic Spare Ribs - Tender, Crispy & Umami! - Chinese Recipe

Inspired by the Chinese takeout favourite, but elevated to "gourmet" status. Tender fried pork spare ribs with a sweet, sticky honey garlic sauce. Irresistible!
I've added a couple of "secret" techniques here that make them go from "good" to "awesome." Steaming the ribs first before frying to make them super tender and easy to clean them off the bones. Then using the pork juice you get from the steaming in the honey garlic sauce, which adds extra umami. A light batter, also made from the pork juice, gives a bit of a crunch that makes them completely addictive. Takes a bit more time to do it this way but it's worth every minute!
