* ½ cup of water
* ¼ cup Jaggery or Brown sugar
* 2 tablespoons Cornflour
* 1 teaspoon Sea salt
* 2 teaspoons of Szechuan peppercorns

* 2 tablespoons Light soy sauce
* ¾ cup Sweet peppers, deseeded and chopped (any colours)
* ¼ cup Onion, peeled and finely chopped
* 1 cup Pineapple Juice

* Add the water and Vinegar, the remaining teaspoon of crushed Szechuan peppercorns, the crushed chili and bring to the Boil and Simmer until properly cooked (about 10 to 15 minutes) - just 5 minutes if using thin fillet.
* Remove the Ribs set to one side, leaving a little liquid/oil in the Wok.
* Add the onions and peppers and Sautée for a few minutes.
* Pre-mix the Cornflour in a little cold water.
* Add the Pineapple Juice, Salt, Jaggery, Soy sauce to the Wok, stir in the Cornflour and mix well.
