Oh no! I don’t suggest that because the sugar is a key component and any substitute for sugar will not have a similar chemical reaction when cooked. If you are concerned about HFCS then simply use DP made with real sugar. But frankly HFCS, if at all more harmful than regular sugar (still in debate) could only be a problem when regularly consumed. Like if you drank regular non-diet soda several times a day. Eating these ribs a couple of times a year should be OK. But then again if you are diabetic…

Fructose can increase appetite, did you ever notice you are never really “full” from a glass of soda or sweet juice, you tend to want to snack on something or follow it up with a glass of water?

The sauce be itself is amazing, so I think it would work on some tofu riblets. As for the the rub, you may want to jut toss them in it before cooking or cut it out entirely. Good luck.

Maybe but I can’t advise. If you do try, lrt us know how they turn out.

do you think i could do a vegetarian variation?
they have tofu ‘riblets’ at my supermarket and since i’ve been a vegetarian for almost a year, i’d really like to see…

but what’s your advice on this one?
i don’t want to try it and have it be horrible.

I tried them, oh my god they were good, I added sesame seeds to the sauce, they taste like I went to oriental express. They were really tasty only one thing the sauce was not thicking up so mixed flour and water and then add to the sauce and it finally thicken. And poured them over jasmine rice.

Just an FYI, most sodas are making “throw backs” or how they used to make them before HFCS, you can get Dr. Pepper made with real cane sugar if you just do a little research. I will be making these… using the Dr. Pepper with the real cane sugar.
I have seen Pepsi products with the “throwback” label on them. You can get non HFCS sodas at places like Trader Joes and Whole Foods too….

EVERYTHING in MODERATION…
