Categories     Pork     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For ribs
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 1/2 tablespoons black pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon salt
2 full racks pork spareribs (each 3 lb), brisket flap and chine bone removed

  • Stir together all sauce ingredients until sugar is dissolved.
  • Open vents two-thirds in lid and bottom of grill. Light half a chimney of charcoal, then put on one side of bottom rack, mounding and banking against side.

CHINESE BARBECUED SPARERIBS

This recipe appeared in The Times in an article by June Owen. In an earlier version of this recipe, Owen recommended first roasting the ribs for 55 minutes in an oven set at 350 degrees. This way, when you finish them on the grill, they will be less likely to char and spoil the lacquered look. The choice is yours. David Myers noted that the ribs would also go well with the cucumber salad and preserved ginger from the salmon recipe that follows. But their best accompaniment is probably just a good cold beer.

Time 1h35m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons ketchup
4 pounds pork spareribs, cut into serving pieces

Steps:

  • In a pan large enough to fit the ribs, combine the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ketchup and 1/2 cup water. Marinate the spareribs in this mixture in the refrigerator for several hours, turning a few times.
  • Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to low. Arrange the spareribs on a hinged grill basket and cook over a low flame, basting occasionally, for 1 1/2 hours or until the ribs are shiny brown and fork-tender.

  • Make a flavorful rub. A good rub will help to enhance the flavor of the ribs. There are many different recipes for rubs, so experiment until you find one that you like. Common ingredients in rubs include brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
  • Smoke the ribs. Smoking is the best way to cook barbecued ribs. Smoke the ribs over indirect heat for 2-3 hours, or until they are tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs. Basting the ribs with a flavorful sauce will help to keep them moist and add extra flavor. There are many different recipes for barbecue sauces, so experiment until you find one that you like. Common ingredients in barbecue sauces include ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, and vinegar.
  • Let the ribs rest. Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the ribs even more tender.
