Appetizer Recipes : Marinated Cocktail Ribs

Ingredients :

3 cups dry red wine
1 and one half cups soy sauce
One half cup fresh mint leaves
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 sweet onion, chopped
One half cup plum sauce
3 pounds lean pork ribs, cut into 2 inch pieces
Salt and pepper to taste
Cornstarch

Combine first six ingredients in a large pan and heat to just boiling, stirring frequently. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Make this sauce in advance to allow it to cool before using it as marinade. Marinate the ribs in the sauce overnight. Place ribs on foil lined cookie sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper and cornstarch. Bake ribs in 400 degree oven for about 25 minutes or until fully cooked. Serve with sweet and sour sauce for dipping.

Tips : If you cannot tolerate red wine, use unsweetened grape juice instead.
