Spareribs From Waikiki Recipes

HAWAIIAN SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, and pineapple. Stir in brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and ginger. Cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Arrange a layer of spareribs in a roasting pan. Pour half of the sauce over the top. Arrange another layer of spareribs, and top with remaining sauce. Cover pan tightly with foil.
• Bake in a preheated oven until done, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

HAWAIIAN STYLE SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Cut ribs into serving pieces.
• Parboil the ribs in water to cover for at least 30 minutes. (This helps to get rid of some of the fat and also helps to make the ribs tender.) Drain and let cool somewhat.
• Mix the remaining ingredients together. Put ribs in a marinade pan or large zip-loc freezer bag and pour marinade over ribs. Refrigerate. Turn ribs occasionally and continue to marinate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Grill until heated through and nicely browned or bake in 350 degree oven until browned and tender. Brush with marinade while cooking if desired.
• Serve on platter with pineapple slices and mandarin orange segments.

CHINESE SPARERIBS #5 WITH TERIYAKI GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Rub the ribs all over with the five-spice powder; season generously with salt and pepper. Arrange the ribs in a single layer in a roasting pan and slow-roast for 2 1/2 hours.
• To prepare the teriyaki glaze: Meanwhile, in a pot, combine the soy sauce, grapefruit juice, hoisin sauce, ketchup, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, chile, garlic, and ginger over medium heat. Bring to a slow simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 20 minutes.
• In the last 30 minutes of cooking, baste the ribs with the teriyaki sauce. When they are done, the pork will pull away from the bone and you will see about 1/2-inch of bone showing. Just before you're ready to eat, baste the ribs with the teriyaki sauce again and stick them under the broiler for 5 to 8 minutes to make the spareribs a nice crusty brown. (Keep a close eye on these guys - ribs go from perfectly crisp to perfectly burnt seconds.) Separate the ribs with a cleaver or sharp knife, pile them on a platter, and pour on the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, and green onion before serving.

WAIKIKI COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add all ingredients, and shake well. Strain into a highball glass and garnish with a maraschino cherry.

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.

PAN-ASIAN TERIYAKI SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Position rack in middle of oven and preheat to 375°F. Sprinkle ribs with pepper. Wrap each rib rack tightly with heavy-duty foil. Set packets on large rimmed baking sheet. Bake ribs until just tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool ribs 30 minutes in foil. Unwrap foil. Pour all juices from ribs into medium bowl. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover ribs and pan juices separately and chill.)
• Spoon off and discard fat from surface of pan juices. Stir teriyaki baste and next 4 ingredients into pan juices.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Place smoke chips in 8x6-inch foil packet with open top. Set packet atop coals about 5 minutes before grilling. Grill ribs until heated through and well glazed, turning and basting often with teriyaki mixture, about 20 minutes total.
