Marinade
- Combine Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, sesame oil and Cracked Black Pepper & Garlic with Sea Salt Seasoning in large container or resealable bag. Add cooled ribs. Marinate 30 minutes.
- Add potato starch to ribs, tossing to coat evenly; the excess liquid will help to create a slurry coating for the ribs. Hold refrigerated for service.

Service
- Heat oil in wok or fryer to 350°F. For each serving, fry 1/2 pound ribs about 4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain well.
