Five Spice Short Ribs With Hoisin Barbecue Sauce Recipes

FIVE-SPICE SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut ribs in individual sections, each with one piece of bone.
• Combine wine, Worcestershire sauce, stock, soy sauce, tangerine peel, sugar, chili paste, five-spice powder, ginger and garlic in a heavy 4- to 5-quart ovenproof saucepan or casserole. Bring to simmer, add ribs and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Cover and place in oven. Cook 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until meat is fork-tender. Remove ribs to a platter, trying to keep a bone in each piece, and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Strain cooking liquid, and degrease. Return to saucepan, and boil down until reduced by half, to about 1 1/2 cups. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Over very low heat, whisk in butter bit by bit. Pour sauce over ribs, and serve.

STICKY FIVE-SPICE SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
• Mix together sherry, oyster sauce, and brown sugar until evenly combined; set aside. Pat ribs dry with a paper towel and season well with salt and five-spice powder.
• Place a 3-quart Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed, shallow pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat and add oil. When oil starts to smoke, add ribs and sear until well browned, about 2 minutes per side.
• Remove ribs to a plate and set aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings, return pan to stove, and add garlic, ginger, and chile and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in reserved sherry mixture and bring to a simmer.
• Return ribs to pan and bring to a simmer. Cover and transfer to oven to cook, turning occasionally, until meat is knife tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Increase oven to 400 degrees F and cook, covered, until ribs are sticky, about 30 more minutes.

SLOW-COOKER HOISIN RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread pork ribs on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper.

• Whisk hoisin sauce, sugar, soy sauce, white wine, tomato paste, garlic, chili-garlic sauce, and five-spice powder together in a bowl.
• Grease a slow cooker insert with cooking spray. Transfer pork ribs to the pot. Cover evenly with hoisin sauce mixture.
• Cook on Low, stirring halfway through, until pork ribs are tender, about 8 hours.

ASIAN BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir together all ingredients except sugar in a bowl.
• Cook sugar in a dry heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel. Tilt pan and carefully pour in hoisin mixture (caramel will harden and steam vigorously). Cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved and sauce is thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Serve with shrimp, swordfish, pork, or chicken.
