The 'chinese' red sticky sauce is sweet and sour sauce. Go to about.com and type in chinese spare ribs. You should come up with some recipes. I found chinese fried rice there just last night. Planned on making it today just to find I don't have rice.
There are some recipes you like, maybe you can give it a shot.
