Steps:
- Have your butcher separate the spareribs into individual ribs and then into chunks which are approximately 7.5cm/3in long. Alternatively do this yourself using a heavy sharp cleaver that can cut through the bones.
- Mix the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and steep the spareribs in the marinade for about 25 minutes at room temperature. Remove the spareribs from the marinade with a slotted spoon.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer or large wok. When the oil is very hot and slightly smoking, slowly brown the marinated spareribs in several batches until they are brown. Drain each cooked batch on kitchen paper. (Leave the cooking oil to cool. Strain it through a filter if you want to re-use it when cooking pork.)
- Put the sauce ingredients into a clean wok or frying pan.
- Bring the sauce to the boil and then reduce the heat. Add the spareribs, cover and simmer gently for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- If necessary, add a little water to the sauce to prevent the spareribs from drying up. Skim off any surface fat, turn onto a warm serving plate and serve at once.

CHINESE SPARERIBS #5 WITH TERIYAKI GLAZE

Yield 8 to 10 servings (1 1/2 cups glaze)
Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Rub the ribs all over with the five-spice powder; season generously with salt and pepper. Arrange the ribs in a single layer in a roasting pan and slow-roast for 2 1/2 hours.
- To prepare the teriyaki glaze: Meanwhile, in a pot, combine the soy sauce, grapefruit juice, hoisin sauce, ketchup, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, chile, garlic, and ginger over medium heat. Bring to a slow simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 20 minutes.
- In the last 30 minutes of cooking, baste the ribs with the teriyaki sauce. When they are done, the pork will pull away from the bone and you will see about 1/2-inch of bone showing. Just before you're ready to eat, baste the ribs with the teriyaki sauce again and stick them under the broiler for 5 to 8 minutes to make the spareribs a nice crusty brown. (Keep a close eye on these guys - ribs go from perfectly crisp to perfectly burnt seconds.) Separate the ribs with a cleaver or sharp knife, pile them on a platter, and pour on the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, and green onion before serving.

Steps:
- Mix together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, five-spice powder, garlic, ginger and food coloring in a metal, non-reactive bowl. Pour the marinade into a large zip-top bag, reserving 1/2 cup on the side for basting later. Add the ribs to the bag and marinate, refrigerated, for at least 3 hours, though longer is better and overnight is ideal.
- Heat a charcoal or gas grill to 275 degrees F for direct and indirect grilling.
- Remove the ribs from the marinade (discard the marinade) and place onto a wire rack. Place the rack directly on the cooler side of the grill. Cook until the meat is very tender, basting with the reserved marinade 3 times during the cooking process, 2 to 3 hours.
- Drizzle the ribs with honey, move them to the direct heat side and quickly char each rib to caramelize.

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs. Spare ribs are the most commonly used cut for this dish, but you can also use baby back ribs or country-style ribs. Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
- Prepare the ribs. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs to cook evenly and will prevent them from toughening up. You can also cut the ribs into individual pieces, if desired.
- Make the marinade. The marinade is what gives the ribs their flavor. There are many different recipes for Chinese five-spice marinade, but they all typically include soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, ginger, and five-spice powder. You can also add other ingredients to the marinade, such as honey, brown sugar, or sesame oil.
- Marinate the ribs. Place the ribs in a large bowl or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Cover the bowl or bag and refrigerate the ribs for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Cook the ribs. There are two main ways to cook Chinese five-spice spare ribs: baking and grilling. To bake the ribs, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the ribs in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until the ribs are cooked through. To grill the ribs, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the ribs on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the ribs are cooked through.
- Serve the ribs. Chinese five-spice spare ribs are typically served hot, with a side of rice or noodles. You can also serve them with a dipping sauce, such as hoisin sauce or plum sauce.
Conclusion:
Chinese five-spice spare ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal.
