Sweet Vinegar Ribs in 30 minutes using the Thermomix

This is called 糖醋排骨 in Chinese and is a seemingly difficult dish that is surprisingly easy and fast to cook using the Thermomix. My dish was done in all but 30 minutes! I took my ribs out to defrost overnight and marinated them in the same sauce I will cook them in before I leave the house in the morning. This recipe is the healthier version as there is no need to deep fry the ribs before cooking. Of course, its optional but I find the taste good enough.

The sauce particularly is so good with rice that I broke my no rice rule for dinner! The entire dish was devoured very quickly by the kids. 

I realised as I was uploading my photos that the dish does not look particularly appetising on photo since everything is dark brown. Or it must be my photo-taking skills, Anyhow, the taste is good and it is a one pot main that goes superbly well with hot steaming rice. Getting a main done in 30 minutes works for me as I can literally get this cooking once I reach home straight from the fridge to the Thermomix and let it cook while I shower. These are times when I really appreciate technology and how clever appliances like the Thermomix can make life easier and healthier (hey the ribs did not need to be fried).
