CHINESE-STYLE BBQ PORK RIBS
Always the crowd pleaser at any BBQ. Sweet and sticky. This family favorite was handed down to me. I wouldn't do ribs any other way. It's a little involved: overnight marinade, baking, then finishing off on the BBQ, but well worth the effort. And kids love them too! I like to serve this with corn on the cob, an herb or pilaf rice, roasted potatoes, or a salad.

SUPER EASY CHINESE SWEET N' SOUR RIBS
This is the way my mom taught me to make sweet and sour pork Taiwan style, it's the real Asian thing (not the 'Americanized' version). At home we call it the 12345 sweet n' sour pork because that's the proportions of the sauce you cook it in :). When I make it I always leave out the rice wine because I never have it at home, but it tastes just about as good! This is good for large groups, as it is easy to double/triple and is great on steamed rice!

Steps:
- Boil about 1 L of water in a pot, or enough to cover the ribs.
- Carefully drop the ribs in the boiling water, stir til outside browns, roughly 1 minute (this is to clean out the blood in the ribs so your sauce won't have the 'foamy stuff' later).
- Drain ribs, put in a medium sized pot big enough for the ribs to be layed down in one layer. A deeper pan will work too.
- Add rice wine, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and water in the pot (you don't need to follow the measurements, I usually take a ladle and use 1 ladle of rice wine, 2 vinegar 3 sugar etc).
- Bring to a boil for about 10 minutes then reduce to a simmer.
- Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is very dark and almost dry or to your desired thickness, roughly half an hour.
- Be careful not to dry all the sauce out, the sauce will reduce much quicker in the final stage, so keep an eye on it.
- Serve with steamed rice and stir fried veggies for a great Chinese meal!

BEST CHINESE BABY BACK RIBS
From the Great RIBS Book by Hugh Carpenter and Teri Sandison (outstanding little book). I used a 4 pound pork sparerib slab for this recipe and their oven/roasting method and it turned out fabulous. According to the book, you need to remove the membrane on the bony side, if you don't the ribs will be tough.

Steps:
- To make the sauce, combine all the sauce ingredients and stir well. Makes 3 cups.
- Remove the membrane from the underside of 2 sides pork baby back ribs or your favorite type of ribs (I used a 4 pound pork sparerib slab, which came out great). To remove the membrane, place ribs, meaty side down, on a flat surface. Using your fingernail, loosen a little of the membrane along the end of the last rib bone. Then, grasp the membrane firmly with a paper towel (so it won't slip from your grip). Holding the ribs down with the other hand, pull the membrane away. If it doesn't pull away in one piece, dislodge any remaining membrane, grip it with a paper towel, and pull the membrane away.
- Place the ribs in a rectangular dish or baking pan.
- Coat the ribs evenly on both sides with the marinade (reserve some for basting later on, I only used half of the sauce for the marinade). Marinate the ribs, refrigerated, for at least 15 minutes. For more flavor, marinate for up to 8 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Use a heavy baking sheet with shallow sides when oven roasting ribs. Line the baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil and position a wire rack on top. Spray the wire rack liberally on both side with vegetable oil cooking spray (it will make clean up so much easier even if its a nonstick).
- Place a small pan (such as a bread tin or small Pyrex dish) filled with 2 inches of hot tap water in the bottom of the oven, to keep the ribs from drying out as they roast.
- Lay the ribs on the wire rack, meaty side up. Slide the pan holding the wire rack onto the center oven rack.
- To prevent ribs from steaming, cook only one baking pan of ribs per oven.
- Always roast the ribs meaty side up, and never turn the ribs over. Otherwise, the sauce glazing the meaty side of the ribs will be dislodged. Baste the meaty side of the ribs with reserved marinade 1 or 2 times during roasting, if desired.
- Cook the ribs until the meat begins to shrink away from the ends of the bones, about 75 to 90 minutes.
- Remove the ribs for the oven. Wait five minutes before cutting each rib into 2 pieces, in half, or into individual ribs.
Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Use meaty pork ribs with a good amount of marbling. Baby back ribs or spare ribs are both good choices.
- Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to help them cook more evenly. Cut the ribs into individual pieces if desired.
- Use a good marinade: A flavorful marinade will help tenderize the ribs and add flavor. Many Chinese rib recipes use a combination of soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, ginger, and spices.
- Cook the ribs slowly: Low and slow cooking is the best way to get fall-off-the-bone ribs. Bake or braise the ribs in a covered dish at a low temperature for several hours.
- Glaze the ribs: A glaze will help give the ribs a sticky, caramelized exterior. Brush the ribs with a glaze made from honey, soy sauce, and spices during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Conclusion:
Chinese ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. With a variety of flavors and cooking methods to choose from, there's a Chinese rib recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and easy-to-make meal, give Chinese ribs a try!
