CHINESE SPARERIBS

After searching the internet for a good Chinese Spareribs recipe and not finding any that caught my eye, I decided to make my own. This recipe is pretty simple, and yields tender, juicy, tangy ribs. In Japan, I cooked this in the fish broiler, but it should be fine on the grill or in the oven.

Time 2h45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sake
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
½ teaspoon grated fresh garlic
¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 pound pork spareribs

Steps:

  • In a shallow glass dish, mix together the hoisin sauce, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, sake, rice vinegar, lemon juice, ginger, garlic and five-spice powder. Place the ribs in the dish, and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or as long as overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Fill a broiler tray with enough water to cover the bottom. Place the grate or rack over the tray. Arrange the ribs on the grate.
  • Place the broiler rack in the center of the oven. Cook for 40 minutes, turning and brushing with the marinade every 10 minutes. Let the marinade cook on for the final 10 minutes to make a glaze. Finish under the broiler if desired. Discard any remaining marinade.

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h15m

Yield 20 to 24 ribs

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey, plus a bit extra to finish
1 tablespoon five-spice powder
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon red food coloring
2 racks spare ribs (8 to 10 pounds, St. Louis-style work best), individually sliced into single ribs

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.

Categories     Wine     Ginger     Dinner     Lunar New Year     Beef Rib     Winter     Anise     Cinnamon     Sesame     Soy Sauce     Simmer     Gourmet     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield Makes 4 servings(as part of a Chinese meal)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 scallion, trimmed, plus 1 tablespoon chopped scallion
1 pound pork spareribs, cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces by butcher
1/3 cup Chinese rice wine (preferably Shaoxing) or medium-dry Sherry
1 tablespoon regular soy sauce (sometimes labeled "thin")
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (sometimes labeled "superior")
3 cups plus 1 tablespoon water
1 (1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1 1/2 teaspoons star anise pieces (not whole)
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
1 1/2 tablespoons coarsely crushed yellow rock sugar (sometimes labeled "yellow rock candy")
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Blanch whole scallion in a 4-quart pot of boiling water until softened, about 1 minute. Transfer scallion to a work surface and return pot of water to a boil. Add ribs to boiling water and return to a boil, then immediately drain ribs in a colander. Transfer ribs to a wide 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy pot. Carefully tie blanched scallion into a knot and add to pot with ribs.
  • Add wine, soy sauces, 3 cups water, ginger, anise, cinnamon, sugar, and pepper to pot with ribs and simmer, covered, until meat is just tender, about 1 hour. Remove lid and boil over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced by three fourths and meat is very tender, about 20 minutes more. Whisk together cornstarch and remaining tablespoon water in a cup. Reduce heat to moderate and add cornstarch mixture to ribs, then cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Serve sprinkled with chopped scallion and cilantro.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality spare ribs: Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the ribs are flavorful and tender.
  • Marinate the ribs overnight: This will help the ribs absorb the flavors of the marinade and make them more tender.
  • Use a variety of spices and seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings to create a unique flavor profile for your ribs.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: This will help the ribs cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Baste the ribs frequently: Basting the ribs with the marinade or sauce will help keep them moist and flavorful.
