Wash the spareribs and chop
into 1 inch by 2 inch (3cm X 5
cm) pieces.
Heat the oil in a work over
high heat until the oil surface
ripples. Add the spareribs and
stir-fry for 10 minutes, or until
the ribs turn a lighter color
and give off most of their juices.
Place in a heavy casserole with
the salt and ginger. Add 2 1/2
cups (600 ml) of water, cover
and bring to a boil. Boil for
2 hours over high heat, replenishing
the water if necessary. Add the
MSG and scallions. Turn down the
heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove and serve.
