Ingredients
Instructions
- Slice the pork spareribs into portions of two or three rib sections.
- Season the ribs with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Place three cups of all-purpose flour into a bag.
- Add the seasoned ribs to the flour and shake to coat evenly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier texture, let the coated ribs rest for 15 minutes before frying. If you want to reduce calories, you can use an air fryer instead of deep frying. For seasoning, consider adding garlic powder or smoked paprika for a different flavor profile. If you don't have all-purpose flour, cornstarch can also be used for coating.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Mama's Fried Pork Spareribs with a side of Bacon Slaw for a refreshing crunch. These ribs also pair well with Barbecue Beans(Crock-Pot) for a hearty meal. For a lighter option, consider a Spinach And Sprout Salad to balance the richness of the ribs. A drizzle of barbecue sauce can enhance the flavors beautifully.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, allow the fried ribs to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When reheating, use an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes to restore crispiness, or reheat in an air fryer for a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of pork for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other cuts such as pork chops or pork shoulder. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly, as different cuts may require longer or shorter cooking times to achieve tenderness.
What type of oil is best for frying the ribs?
For frying, vegetable oil or peanut oil works well due to their high smoke points. Avoid using olive oil, as it may burn and impart an undesirable flavor to the ribs.
How can I make the gravy to serve with the ribs?
To make a simple gravy, use the drippings left in the pan after frying. Add flour to create a roux, then gradually whisk in broth or water until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste for a delicious accompaniment to the ribs.
