Strawberry Spare Ribs

Strawberry Spare Ribs | www.thepeachkitchen.com

When I was growing up, I remember being fascinated by this small red fruit that is both tart and sweet. It’s a not a regular at home as bananas or mangoes. When I ask my parents to buy me strawberries,  I remember them telling me that they are not readily available at the wet market and that you can only buy them in special places like Baguio. Perhaps, that’s what’s gotten me hooked with strawberries in the first place, the fact that it is special and it is not always available.

So, why is strawberry my favorite fruit?

Come to think of it. I really don’t know…

Perhaps it’s that pucker-up-red color?

Perhaps it’s that wonderful flavor that could only come from it’s pulp that is both tart and sweet at the same time…

Perhaps it’s all those “seeds” outside that really is the true fruit of the strawberries. (The “seeds” you see on the outside of a strawberry are actually the plant’s ovaries and are called “achenes”. Each achene is an individual fruit with a single seed inside)

Or perhaps because it looks like little bundles of love that adds romance to any recipe you put it into. Perhaps it’s that or it just tastes really wonderful for me.

Strawberry Spare Ribs | www.thepeachkitchen.com

My fascination with strawberries led me into experimenting with it and adding it to dishes that looks promising like my favorite Sinigang. Yes, I did make Pork Belly Sinigang with Strawberry and I liked it. The problem was I was the only one in my family who did.

There was this one time, though, we ate at this Chinese restaurant. Strawberry Spare Ribs was one of the dishes that we ordered. The meat was  crispy on the outside but soft, tender and juicy inside. Each piece of flavorful meat was coated with sweet, tart, salty strawberry sauce. Everyone loved it.  I savored each and every bite as I made a mental note to try and remake it at home.

Surprisingly, I was able to replicate it on the first try! Unlike the Strawberry Spare Ribs we ordered, mine has fresh strawberry pieces to accent the dish and make it more appetizing and delectable.

I hope this recipe makes its way into your lunch table. If you’re into sweet and sour recipes, you’ll absolutely love this.

    I really enjoyed reading your bio. But the only reason I read your bio was because I saw a picture of those spareribs and wanted
    to know WHO was this Peachy woman. Strawberries are pretty much available in stores year around. So this recipe is winner.

    I’m not really a fan of fruits on viands. I think it’s weird. But surprisingly I once tasted Chicken with orange and it was good. Maybe I can give this a try as well because I love spare ribs! The strawberry will give it a diffrent twist. Hopefully it will taste good for me. hihi!:)
