3 tablespoons of granulated garlic
2 teaspoons of ground ginger

Frying:  A fryer is highly recommended. It's quicker and easier. Fry at 375 degrees for about 10- 15 minutes, turn the ribs for even browning. Cooking varies depending on the thickness of the ribs. 

For a healthier option, bake at 425 degrees covered for 45 minutes, then broil high for browning for about 2 minutes eachside.
