TO PREPARE:
Place the ribs in enough water to cover in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat. Simmer for 15 minutes; drain. Mix the sugar and salt together. Rub on all sides of the ribs. Place in a container and cover. Chill in the refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours. Combine the soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, gingerroot and MSG in a bowl and mix well. Chill, covered, in the refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours.
Brush the ribs with some of the sauce and place in a baking pan. Let stand for 1 hour. Bake, covered with foil, at 325 degrees for 1-1/2 hours. Remove the foil. Bake for 30 minutes longer, basting with the remaining sauce every 15 minutes.
