ASIAN-STYLE BABY BACK RIBS



Asian-Style Baby Back Ribs image

There are hundred of versions of these sweet, sticky ribs. Too often they're preposterously cloying with little pork flavor. This recipe suffers none of that, its nuanced character derived from the melding of ginger, lemongrass, and chile in the braising liquid and the subtly spiced hoisin glaze. Despite the ribs' refined taste, they're properly messy, perfect with beer -- and invariably met with demands for more.

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tablespoons safflower oil
1 rack baby back ribs, split in half (about 3 1/2 pounds)
5 ounces fresh ginger (about 5 inches), thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, sliced
1/4 cup finely chopped lemongrass
1 dried Thai chile
2/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
5 cups water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/8 teaspoon five-spice powder
1 dried Thai chile
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar

Steps:

  • Make the ribs: Heat oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ribs, working in batches if necessary, and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer ribs to a plate, leaving drippings in pot.
  • Reduce heat to medium, and add ginger, garlic, lemongrass, and chile. Cook until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add tamari or soy sauce, water, sugar, salt, and ribs. Cover, and gently simmer until ribs are tender, about 1 hour.
  • Make the glaze: Combine hoisin, garlic, tamari or soy sauce, honey, five-spice powder, chile, orange zest, and vinegar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer until mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat broiler. Remove ribs from liquid, and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Brush glaze all over ribs, and broil until glaze starts to bubble, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter, and brush with more glaze before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality baby back ribs. Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and will make them more tender.
  • Use a flavorful marinade or rub. The marinade or rub will help to infuse the ribs with flavor and will help to keep them moist during cooking.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow. This will help to tenderize the ribs and will allow the flavors of the marinade or rub to penetrate the meat.
  • Baste the ribs with the marinade or rub during cooking. This will help to keep the ribs moist and will prevent them from drying out.
  • Cook the ribs until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. This will usually take about 2-3 hours.

Conclusion:

Asian-style baby back ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your ribs turn out perfectly every time. So fire up your grill or oven and get ready to enjoy some amazing ribs!
