Steps:
- For the Ribs: Adjust oven rach to middle position and heat oven to 250 degrees. With tip of paring knife, loosen membrane on underside of each rach of ribs. Grab membrane with paper towel and pull it off slowly in a single piece. Combine remaining ingredients in a large roasting pan. Add ribs to pan, turning to coat both sides, and arrange meaty side down. Cover pan tightly with foil and cook until just tender, 2.5-3 hours Transfer ribs to a large plate.
- For the Glaze: Strain 3 cups cooking liquid from roasting pan into large nonstick skillet, and discard solids and remaining liquid. Do not wash roasting pan. Using wide spoon, skim fat from liquid. Stir in jelly and vinegar. Bring to simmer over medium high heat and cook until syrupy and reduced to 2 cups, about 15-20 minutes. Off heat, stir in cilantro and cayenne.
- Heat broiler (do not raise oven rack). Pour enough water into roasting pan to cover bottom and fit pan with a flat roasting rack. Reserve 1/2 cup glaze for serving. Arrange ribs on rack meaty side down and brush with glaze. Place roasting pan back on middle rack in oven and broil until beginning to brown, 2-4 minutes. Flip ribs over, brush with more glaze, then broil, brusing ribs with glaze every 2-4 minutes until ribs are deep mahogany color, 9-12 minutes. Transfer ribs to cutting board, tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes. Slice between bones, transfer ribs to platter, brush with reserved glaze. Sprinkle with scallions. Serve.

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.

CHINESE-STYLE BARBECUED RIBS
These are the best oven-roasted ribs ever, and they can also be finished on a grill for extra smoky flavor. Creating steam in the oven is the key to tender meat. The ingredients here are close to the ones used by traditional Cantonese barbecue masters to produce sticky-salty-sweet meat that has a reddish, caramelized crust - with ketchup standing in for Chinese red fermented tofu. (It can be left out if desired.) Although these ribs are presented as an appetizer in many American Chinese restaurants, barbecued meat is traditionally a main course, served with freshly cooked rice and a green side like smashed cucumber salad or stir-fried bok choy.

Steps:
- In a food processor or blender, mince garlic and scallions. Add hoisin, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, rice wine or vodka, rice vinegar and five-spice powder. Process until well blended. Taste for sweetness; the mixture should be sweet like barbecue sauce, not candy. Adjust the taste with honey, soy sauce and vinegar.
- Set aside 1/3 cup marinade for basting. Transfer remaining marinade to a container or pan large enough to hold the ribs, or to large resealable plastic bags. Add ribs and turn until well coated. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, and up to 2 days, turning occasionally in the marinade.
- Heat oven to 300 degrees. Set up a rimmed baking sheet (or two) with an oven-safe wire rack that fits inside, the kind you'd use for cooling cookies. Line the bottoms of the pans with foil or nonstick baking mats. Place the racks inside the pans and place the empty pans on the bottom rack of the oven. Pour in hot water until it comes about halfway up the sides of the pan. (Do not skip the water: The steam helps cook the meat to the right tenderness.)
- When the oven is hot, remove the ribs from the marinade and place on the racks, meaty side up. Bake without basting, 1 hour for baby back ribs, 2 hours for St. Louis style ribs. Check the water level occasionally to make sure it hasn't cooked off.
- Remove ribs from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Pour off any water from the baking sheet and return the ribs to the racks. (Alternatively, you can finish the ribs on a medium-hot grill; see below.)
- Return ribs to the oven and roast (or grill), basting 2 or 3 times with reserved marinade, for 20 to 30 minutes (less time for baby backs, more for spareribs). Watch the ribs carefully to make sure that the edges don't burn, and don't baste them too close to the end; they should be dry and sticky, not wet on the surface.
- Use a big knife to cut between the bones, making sure that each rib has meat on both sides. Mound on a platter, sprinkle with scallions and cilantro, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Use pork spare ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too bony or fatty.
- Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to make them more tender. Cut the ribs into individual pieces if desired.
- Marinate the ribs: Marinate the ribs in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, garlic, ginger, and five-spice powder for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help to flavor the ribs and make them more tender.
- Cook the ribs: Cook the ribs in a steamer or oven until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the method used.
- Make the sticky sauce: Combine sugar, rice vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened. You may also add garlic, ginger, and chili peppers to the sauce for extra flavor.
- Coat the ribs in sauce: Brush the ribs with the sticky sauce and cook for a few more minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish the ribs with green onions, sesame seeds, or cilantro. Serve with steamed rice or noodles.
