STICKY CHINESE SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Cut ribs into serving pieces; place in shallow, foil-lined pan, meaty side down.
• Combine remaining ingredients; brush ribs thoroughly with sauce.
• Cover and bake at 350 degrees F. 1 hour.
• Turn ribs over, pour remaining sauce over ribs and brush with sauce. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes longer; brush occasionally.

CHINESE-STYLE SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Note: Yields 1/2 cup spice rub and about 2/3 cup sauce.
• Make the spice rub: In a small bowl, stir together all the ingredients.
• Cook the ribs: Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 300°F Sprinkle and press 1/4 cup of the rub on both sides of each rib rack.
• Put the racks, meaty side up, on a broiling pan or a wire roasting rack set over a baking sheet.
• Lightly season the ribs with salt and put them in the oven.
• After the first hour, rotate the pan every 30 minutes (If you use two baking sheets, switch their position in the oven, too.) The ribs will sizzle gently as they cook, and they'll become tender after about 2 - 3 hours in the oven.
• To test for doneness, pick up the center of the ribs with tongs; the ends of the ribs should flop downward (this means the fat and cartilage have broken down), and a skewer inserted between the ribs should meet little resistance.
• If the meat between the ribs is still tough, keep cooking, checking every 15 minutes and rotating the pan.
• Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, and sesame oil to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• The sauce will keep for about a week in the refrigerator.
• Cut and serve: When the ribs are done, remove them from the oven, put them on a cutting board meaty side down (so they're easier to slice), and slice them into individual ribs.
• Arrange on a platter and serve with the sauce on the side.
• Or, stack the ribs, drizzle with some of the dipping sauce (serve the rest on the side), and garnish with the sliced scallions.

CHINESE-STYLE GRILLED PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Trim the excess fat from the ribs and remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Cut the rack into individual ribs.
• Gather the marinade ingredients.
• In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, dry sherry, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, cider vinegar, sesame oil, chili paste, Chinese five-spice powder, and white pepper. Reserve about 1/4 cup of this marinade to use for basting. The rest will be used to marinate the ribs.
• Place the ribs into a resealable plastic bag (you might need to use 2 or more bags for this). Pour the marinade over the ribs, making sure they are well coated. Seal the bags and place the bags into a refrigerator. Marinate the ribs for 1 to 4 hours.
• Heat the grill to medium. Remove the ribs from the bags and discard the marinade that has been in contact with the raw meat.
• Place the ribs on the heated grill grate and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F. Baste with reserved marinade two to three times throughout the cooking process. Make sure to stop basting at least 5 to 8 minutes before the ribs are finished cooking.
• Remove the ribs from the grill and place them onto a large platter. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onion for a garnish.

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.
