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:
- 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.

Steps:
- If your pork is thawed, freeze until firm (but not rock solid, about 45 minutes) for easier slicing. Cut the pork into ¾-inch (2 cm) thick slabs. The size of the pieces depends on the cuts of pork you're using. Mine were about 4x8 inches (10x20 cm).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the garlic, sugar, salt, five spice powder, white pepper, Shaoxing wine, hoisin sauce, ground bean sauce, tomato ketchup, pineapple juice, sesame oil, and red food coloring (if using). Mix until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Add the pork and toss until well coated in the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap or a large sheet pan, transfer to the refrigerator, and marinate overnight (12-24 hours). For maximum flavor penetration and distribution, you can stir the pork a few times during the marinating period, but this step isn't strictly necessary.
- Once the marinating period is over, let the pork come up to room temperature on the counter for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan or roasting pan with heavy duty foil (for quick clean-up) and place a metal rack on top.
- Place the boneless pork on the metal rack, leaving at least 1 inch of room between the pieces. Pour ½ cup of hot water on the bottom of the pan, and transfer to the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, flip the pork. Return to the oven for another 15 minutes. If the pan is dry, add an additional ½ cup of hot water.
- Mix the maltose or honey with 2 teaspoons of hot water, and generously brush the pork on both sides. If desired, you can roast the pork under the broiler set to low for a few minutes until the pork is lightly charred and caramelized, but watch closely so they don't burn!
- After broiling, brush them once more with the maltose (or honey). Rest at room temperature for at least 5-10 minutes before cutting. To serve, thinly slice the pork into lengths, and serve alongside your fried rice of choice.

CHINESE TAKE-OUT BARBECUED SPARERIBS
As children, we loved the buffets often served on the weekends at our favorite Chinese restaurants. Not only was the selection vast, but one could munch on as many crispy pork spareribs as desired. At the time we loved their bright red color but these days we choose to leave out the red dye #5. Our marinade for spareribs is sweet and salty. It's a mixture of soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and hoisin. Hoisin is China's take on barbecue sauce, which probably explains why Americans enjoy this dish so much. From the Take-Out Menu Cookbook.

Tips:
- To make the ribs extra tender, marinate them in the soy sauce, rice wine, and garlic mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the ribs. Cook them in batches if necessary, to ensure that they get evenly browned.
- Be careful not to overcook the ribs. Once they are cooked through, remove them from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- If you don't have a steamer, you can also cook the ribs in a covered pan over low heat, adding a little water or broth to the pan to prevent them from drying out.
- Serve the ribs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as hoisin sauce, plum sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Takeout-Style Chinese Spare Ribs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party. The ribs are marinated in a flavorful sauce, then seared and steamed until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
