Categories     main-dish

Time 6h15m

Yield 20 to 24 ribs

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey, plus a bit extra to finish
1 tablespoon five-spice powder
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon red food coloring
2 racks spare ribs (8 to 10 pounds, St. Louis-style work best), individually sliced into single 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.

Tips and Conclusion

To achieve the best Taiwanese Spare Ribs, here are some essential tips to follow:

  • Select Quality Ingredients: Choose high-quality pork ribs, preferably baby back or spare ribs, with good marbling for maximum flavor. Fresh ginger, garlic, and green onions are crucial for adding aromatic depth.
  • Proper Marinating: Marinate the ribs for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight, to infuse them with flavors from the marinade. The longer the marinating time, the more flavorful the ribs will be.
  • High-Heat Searing: Before braising, sear the ribs in hot oil to create a beautiful caramelized crust that locks in the juices and adds a smoky flavor.
  • Braising Liquid: Use a combination of water, soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, and spices for the braising liquid. The balance of these ingredients creates a rich and flavorful sauce that penetrates the ribs.
  • Low and Slow Cooking: Braise the ribs over low heat for an extended period to allow the meat to become fall-off-the-bone tender and absorb the braising liquid's flavors.
  • Glazing: In the final stage of cooking, glaze the ribs with a mixture of honey, soy sauce, and rice wine to enhance their color and add a glossy sheen.

Conclusion

Taiwanese Spare Ribs is a delectable dish that combines savory, sweet, and aromatic flavors in perfect harmony.
