  • 1/4 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)

  3. Add just enough water back in the pot to barely cover the spareribs, cover and gently boil for 30 minutes.
  4. Remove spareribs; drain and save stock; set aside.
  5. In a large pot, combine shoyu, sugar, mirin and salt; bring to a boil.
  6. Add spareribs, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, frequently flipping the pot to turn the spareribs.
  7. Do not stir.
  8. Add stock and nishimi kubu and cook until desired tenderness.
