My son is my food critic. If my food is good he will say so and if it is not up to his taste he will not hold back his opinion. I have some spare ribs in my freezer. At first I thought of steaming it but then I had the various colours of capsicum. So what better way to cook these ribs than the sweet and sour way.

- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tbsp chili sauce
- 2 tbsp tomato sauce
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
Method:
- Wash and pat dry the ribs. Marinate with salt and black pepper powder for about 30 minutes.
- at the ribs with corn flour.
- Heat up the kuali with cooking oil.
- Fry the ribs till they are cooked. Remove and set them aside.
- Remove cooking oil from the kuali leaving about 2 tbsp behind.
