TENDER GRILLED SPARE RIBS RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix the dry rub and the oil in a large bowl, and, using your hands, coat the ribs completely, rubbing the flesh really well.
• Cover, and leave in the fridge for anywhere from a few minutes to overnight.
• When you're ready to cook, preheat the grill or oven to 350 F.
• Line a large ovenproof dish or sheet pan with a large piece of foil. Place the ribs on top. Cover with another large piece of foil, and crimp the edges of the top and bottom sheets to seal.
• Cook on the grill or in the oven for 2 hours, until the ribs reach an internal temperature of at least 145 F.
• Remove the ribs from the heat source, pour the barbecue sauce over them, and brush to coat thoroughly.
• Place the ribs back on the grill for 5 minutes to caramelize (or brown them on a hot griddle or under the broiler for 5 minutes).
• Remove the ribs from the heat, and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
• Serve alongside additional barbecue sauce.

CANTONESE PORK SPARERIBS (BBQ)

Steps:

• Prepare ribs by removing the membrane.
• Combine all the marinade ingredients in a sauce pan and warm slightly so sugar dissolves and corn starch incorporates.
• Pour over ribs and marinade in refrigerator for 3-4 days. Turn ribs occasionally to ensure even marinating.
• Remove ribs and bring to room temperature. Reserve the marinade.
• Heat grill/smoker to 200-225 degrees F.
• Cook ribs on grill using indirect heat method. Use apple, cherry, pecan, or mesquite wood for smoke. Cooking time should be around 1.5 - 2 hours. Turn and brush with marinade occasionally. Ribs are done when bones pull free from meat when twisted.
• Combine ingredients for glaze.
• Remove ribs and brush with glaze. Let stand for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds just before serving.

WESTERN-STYLE GRILLED SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Trim the spareribs, if necessary, and rub both sides of the ribs with the dry rub, working it into the meat. Put the ribs in a shallow glass or ceramic dish, cover, and set aside at room temperature for no longer than 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Alternatively, enclose the ribs in a sealable plastic bag and refrigerate.
• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill, arranging the coals for indirect cooking. Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable cooking spray. The coals should be hot.
• Set the ribs, meat side down, over the hottest part of the fire and sear for about 10 minutes until there are defined grill marks on the meat. Transfer the ribs to the cooler part of the grill, cover, and turning the ribs every 15 to 20 minutes, cook for about 1 1/2 hours. If using a charcoal grill, add fresh coals to maintain the heat at medium; if using a gas grill, turn the heat to medium on the burner away from the meat -- turn off the burner under the meat. Cut the ribs between the bones and serve with sauce on the side.
• Mix the ingredients together in a glass jar or bowl. Cover and shake to mix. Refrigerate until ready to use.

CANTONESE RIB

Steps:

• Cut rack of ribs into individual ribs. Place in resealable plastic bag or shallow pan. Combine soy sauce, cilantro, hoisin sauce, sherry, sugar, garlic, ginger and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Mix well. Pour over ribs and turn to coat well. Refrigerate 4 hours to overnight. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place a rack inside a shallow flameproof baking dish. Remove ribs from marinade; reserving marinade. Place ribs on rack and place in oven. Carefully pour 2 cups of water into the bottom of the baking dish. Roast ribs for 90 minutes until well browned and tender. Pour reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for at least 5 minutes. After the ribs have cooked for 30 minutes, turn and baste with the marinade every 15 minutes. When the ribs are done, brush them with the honey and broil for 3 to 5 minutes until crispy.

SPARERIBS CANTONESE

Steps:

• Cut the ribs into serving-size pieces; place with meat side down in a shallow roasting pan. Cover with foil; bake at 450° for 45 minutes. Drain; turn ribs. , Combine marmalade, water, soy sauce and seasonings; spoon over ribs. Bake, uncovered, 1 hour longer or until tender, basting occasionally with sauce. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired.

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.

CHINESE SPARERIBS

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.

CHINESE BRAISED SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add the spareribs, and cook uncovered for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Stir in the ginger, green onions, and cinnamon; cook and stir until fragrant. Stir in the spareribs and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in the water, soy sauce, sugar, and rice wine. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until the spareribs are tender, about 1 hour.
