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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Rub the ribs all over with the five-spice powder; then season generously with salt and pepper. Put the ribs in a single layer in a roasting pan and slow-roast until they are almost tender, about 2 hours.
- Meanwhile make the glaze. In a large bowl combine the soy sauce, grapefruit juice, hoisin sauce, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, chili, garlic and ginger in a saucepan. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the sauce reduces and thickens then remove from the heat. Strain the sauce and reserve.
- When the ribs are about 30 minutes away from being done, baste them with the teriyaki sauce. Cook until the meat pulls easily from the bone (about 1/2-inch of bone will show).
- Just before serving, preheat the broiler. Baste the ribs again with the teriyaki sauce and brown them under the broiler for 5 to 8 minutes. (Keep a close eye on these guys - ribs go from perfectly crisp to perfectly burnt in 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.

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.

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. As the meat cooks, the basket should be turned frequently so that neither side gets charred.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Select spare ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too fatty or have a lot of bone.
- Trim the ribs: Remove any excess fat or cartilage from the ribs. This will help the ribs cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Marinate the ribs: Marinating the ribs in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids will help tenderize the meat and add flavor.
- Cook the ribs slowly: Spareribs should be cooked slowly over low heat to allow the meat to become fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Baste the ribs: Basting the ribs with the marinade or a mixture of water and vinegar will help keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
- Glaze the ribs: Glazing the ribs with a sweet and sticky sauce will add a delicious glaze and help caramelize the meat.
