Provided by Nagi

Categories     Ribs     Slow Cooked

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 kg / 4 lbs meaty pork ribs (, cut into single rib pieces)
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp shao xing wine
4 tbsp soy sauce
4 tbsp brown sugar or honey
4 tbsp tomato sauce or ketchup
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp sambal oelek
6 cloves garlic (, finely chopped)
2 tbsp grated ginger
1 tsp Chinese five spice powder
1 tsp salt
Sesame seeds (, coriander, shallots and red chilli to garnish (optional))

Steps:

  • Mix marinade ingredients together in a bowl or freezer bag. Add the ribs and marinate for at least an hour, or overnight if possible. You can freeze the marinaded meat if you wish.
  • Before cooking, let the ribs come to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 160C/320F.
  • Pour the ribs and all the marinade into a baking dish large enough so the ribs are in a single layer, but not so large that they are too spread out.
  • Add water up to about 1/3 of the way up the ribs. 6 Cover tightly with foil and place in oven to cook for approximately 1.5 hours.
  • Take out of the oven, remove the foil and touch the ribs - they should be quite tender, but not falling off the bone. The marinade in the baking dish should still be quite watery.
  • Turn the ribs over, then return the baking dish to the oven without the foil. After 20 minutes, take the ribs out - they should be nicely browned and starting to char. Turn the ribs, then spoon the marinade over, then return to the oven for another 10 to 20 minutes.
  • The ribs are done when they are falling off the bone, sticky and glossy and the marinade has reduced down to a thick sauce coating the ribs.
  • Rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with coriander, sesame seeds, julienned shallots and sliced fresh red chilli.

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.

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.

  • 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.

SWEET AND STICKY SPARERIBS WITH FRIED NOODLES



Sweet and Sticky Spareribs with Fried Noodles image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons barbeque sauce
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons finely chopped ginger
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 pounds pork spareribs
1/2 (12-ounce) package wonton wrappers
1 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl whisk together all the ingredients for the marinade. Cut the spareribs into individual ribs and put in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade into the bag and toss to coat. Put the bag into a large bowl and refrigerate to let marinate for at least 2 hours or as long as overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Remove the spare ribs from marinade and arrange on a baking sheet, cover with foil and poke holes in the foil to vent. Reserve the marinade. Bake until the ribs are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • In the meantime, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer the mixture until thick, about 30 minutes. Set aside.
  • After 1 1/2 hours, remove the foil from the spareribs and raise oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Baste the ribs with the reduced marinade and roast in oven for 5 minutes. Turn and baste the ribs again with the remaining sauce and roast for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and arrange the ribs on a serving platter. Serve hot with Fried Noodles.
  • Fried Noodles:
  • Heat 1 cup canola oil in a medium heavy saucepan, to about 350 degrees F. Cut the wonton wrappers into 1/2-inch wide strips. Fry in batches until golden brown and drain on plate lined with a brown paper bag or paper towels.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs or spare ribs are commonly used for sticky Chinese spareribs. Baby back ribs are leaner and have a shorter cooking time, while spare ribs are meatier with more fat and a slightly longer cooking time.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure they cook evenly and become tender. Cut the ribs into individual pieces for easier handling and cooking.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is crucial for infusing flavor into the ribs. Typically, a combination of soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, ginger, and spices is used. Allow the ribs to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the ribs thoroughly: Ribs can be cooked using various methods, including baking, grilling, or using a pressure cooker. Ensure the ribs reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) to ensure they are safe to consume.
  • Make a delicious sauce: The sticky sauce is what gives Chinese spareribs their characteristic flavor. Combine ingredients like soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and spices to create a thick and flavorful sauce. Brush the sauce onto the ribs during the cooking process to caramelize them and enhance their taste.
  • Garnish and serve: Once the ribs are cooked, garnish them with green onions, sesame seeds, or chopped peanuts for an appealing presentation. Serve the ribs hot with steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy the delicious combination of sweet, savory, and sticky flavors.

Conclusion:

Sticky Chinese spareribs are a delectable dish that combines tender ribs, a flavorful marinade, and a sticky, sweet, and savory sauce. By following the tips mentioned above, you can create this mouthwatering dish at home and impress your family and friends with your culinary skills. Remember to choose high-quality ribs, prepare them properly, use a flavorful marinade, cook the ribs thoroughly, make a delicious sauce, and garnish and serve the ribs attractively.
