Cooking Suggestions:
Stovetop:
- Heat 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the vegan citrus spare ribs to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- While cooking, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of raw cane sugar to create a simple glaze.
- Once the ribs are crispy, pour the glaze over the ribs and stir to coat evenly.
- Serve hot with a side of steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Grill:
- Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the vegan citrus spare ribs on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, basting with additional citrus or plum glaze for added flavor.
- Grill until the spare ribs are slightly charred on the outside and heated through.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle with a pinch of white pepper and cinnamon just before serving.
- Serve immediately with grilled vegetables or a side of jasmine rice.
Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the vegan citrus spare ribs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until heated through and crispy on the edges.
- For an added citrus punch, brush the ribs with extra citrus glaze halfway through cooking.
- Serve with a side of mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, or roasted root vegetables for a complete meal.
