Vegetarian Chinese Sweet and Sour Spareribs

This looked like something you might enjoy, but it's not TNT! I'd add

Chinese straw mushrooms, but I always add mushrooms. LOL

 

Vegetarian Chinese Sweet and Sour Spareribs

Serves 2 to 4

 

Ingredients:

10 - 12 cups water for boiling walnuts

4 teaspoons salt for boiling walnuts

3 ounces fresh shelled walnuts

1/2 red bell pepper

1/2 green bell pepper

2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon oil for stir-frying

6 ounces pineapple slices (3/4 cup)

1/2 cup Sweet and Sour Sauce

1 medium carrot, shredded, for garnish

 

Preparation:

Bring 5 to 6 cups water with 2 teaspoons salt to a boil. Boil the walnuts

in the

boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Drain. Repeat one more time. (This

removes

any bitter taste from the walnuts). Drain and allow the walnuts to cool.

Cut the bell peppers into bite-sized chunks. In a small bowl, mix the

cornstarch

with the 3 tablespoons water and set aside.

Add 1 tablespoon oil to a frying pan or preheated wok. When the oil is

hot, add

the walnuts. Stir-fry briefly, then add the bell peppers and the pineapple

slices. Stir in the sweet and sour sauce. Give the cornstarch mixture a

quick

restir and add. Mix and serve hot, garnished with the carrot.

I posted a recipe for Chinese sweet and Sour a year or so ago that is very

similar. The nuts do work. I think my recipe used Pecan's, though.
