Cooking Suggestions:

Stovetop:

1. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. 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.
3. While cooking, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of raw cane sugar to create a simple glaze.
4. Once the ribs are crispy, pour the glaze over the ribs and stir to coat evenly.
5. Serve hot with a side of steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Grill:

1. Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
2. 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.
3. Grill until the spare ribs are slightly charred on the outside and heated through.
4. For extra flavor, sprinkle with a pinch of white pepper and cinnamon just before serving.
5. Serve immediately with grilled vegetables or a side of jasmine rice.

Oven:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the vegan citrus spare ribs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until heated through and crispy on the edges.
4. For an added citrus punch, brush the ribs with extra citrus glaze halfway through cooking.
5. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, or roasted root vegetables for a complete meal.
