CHINESE STICKY RIBS

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.

TAKEOUT-STYLE CHINESE SPARE 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.

• Heat oil for frying to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Place ribs into the oil a few at a time and fry for 4 minutes, flipping them occasionally. Drain on a paper towel.
• Toss fried ribs in the sticky sauce and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onions.
• Enjoy!

STICKY HOISIN SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Remove the membrane from the rack of spareribs, then cut into individual ribs. Place the ribs in a large resealable bag.
• Whisk to combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, rice vinegar, ketchup, sriracha, ginger, Chinese five-spice, red gel food coloring and garlic in a medium bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade and pour the remaining marinade into the bag with the ribs. Seal the bag and massage to coat the ribs with the marinade. Place the bag on a small baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Remove the ribs from the marinade and discard the liquid. Place the ribs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking, brushing with the reserved marinade every 10 to 15 minutes, until cooked through and well browned, 40 to 50 minutes more.
• Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds, scallions and lime wedges.

CHINESE STICKY RIBS

Steps:

• 1. For the ribs: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. With tip of paring knife, loosen membrane on underside of each rack of ribs. Grab membrane with paper towel and pull it off slowly in single piece. Combine remaining ingredients in large roasting pan. Add spareribs to pan, turning to coat both sides, and arrange meaty side down. Cover pan tightly with foil and cook until just tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Transfer ribs to large plate. 2. For the glaze: Strain 3 cups cooking liquid from roasting pan into large nonstick skillet (do not wash roasting pan) and discard solids and remaining liquid. 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, 15 to 20 minutes. Off heat, stir in cilantro and cayenne. 3. Heat broiler (do not raise oven rack). Pour enough water into roasting pan to cover bottom and fit pan with 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 to 4 minutes. Flip ribs over, brush with more glaze, then broil, brushing ribs with glaze every 2 to 4 minutes, until ribs are deep mahogany color, 9 to 12 minutes (watch broiler carefully). Transfer ribs to cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes. Slice between bones, transfer ribs to platter, and brush with reserved glaze. Sprinkle with scallions. Serve. Make Ahead: The ribs and glaze can be prepared through step 2 up to 2 days in advance. Wrap the ribs tightly in foil and refrigerate. Transfer glaze to microwave-safe bowl, cover, and refrigerate. Before serving, allow ribs to stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Heat glaze in microwave on high power until warm, about 1 minute. Proceed with step 3 as directed.

STICKY ASIAN RIBS RECIPE (IN THE OVEN!)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
• Remove the membrane from the ribs (if desired), then rinse the ribs under cold water and pat dry.
• In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, dry mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Massage into ribs.
• Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet, then cover them with another piece of foil.
• Bake ribs for 2 - 2 1/2 hours (check at 2 hours to see if they're done, continue cooking if they're not).
• While the ribs finish up cooking, in a saucepan over medium heat, add honey, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sriracha. Bring mixture to a boil, then turn down heat.
• In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and water, then add to the mixture and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken.
• Remove ribs from the oven and turn the temperature to broil. Brush ribs generously with sauce, then broil for 2-4 minutes (be sure to watch them closely so they don't burn).
• Top with sesame seeds and green onions.

CHINESE-STYLE BARBECUED RIBS

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.
