Helpful tips and FAQs
What are Baby Back ribs?
Baby back ribs come from the back of a pig as opposed to regular ribs that come from the. bottom or the side.. They are shorter and more curved than spare ribs and are known for being tender and meaty. The name “baby back” comes from the fact that these ribs are shorter than spare ribs. They are easy to identify in the grocery store as they are usually about 3 inches in length as opposed to regular ribs that are around 6 inches in length. You can use regular ribs in this recipe if you’re unable to get the baby back ribs. The best results of course come from using baby back ribs as they are more tender/
Substitutions for the Splenda
I use Splenda granulated whenever possible as it does not negatively impact my blood sugar. I find that sweeteners that contain sugar alcohols cause my blood sugar to rise. If this is not a concern for you or you have a preferred sweetener, by all means, make substitutions that suit your preferences and dietary needs. Keep in mind that substituting the sweetener may change the overall nutritional information.
Serving suggestion
these sugar-free, sweet-and-sour chilli ribs are amazing. Served over a bed of cauliflower rice, or Shirataki rice (which are both low carb) When serving over rice, don’t forget to drizzle some of the sauce over the rice first.
Storing and Freezing
Store, your leftover, sugar-free sweet-and-sour chilli ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
For freezing place in an airtight container and freeze for up to one month.
How to Make Sugar Free Sweet and Sour Chili Ribs
Cut the baby back ribs into small pieces ( 1 or 2 ribs per piece) and place them in a baking dish.
Mix all of the remaining ingredients together.
