CHINESE SPARERIBS



Chinese Spareribs image

After searching the internet for a good Chinese Spareribs recipe and not finding any that caught my eye, I decided to make my own. This recipe is pretty simple, and yields tender, juicy, tangy ribs. In Japan, I cooked this in the fish broiler, but it should be fine on the grill or in the oven.

CHINESE SPARERIBS WITH TERIYAKI GLAZE



Chinese Spareribs with Teriyaki Glaze image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h28m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 (4-pound) racks pork spareribs, trimmed of excess fat
1/2 cup Chinese five-spice powder
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 cup grapefruit juice
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 fresh red chili, minced
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2-inch piece fresh ginger, whacked open with the flat side of a knife
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, for garnish
Chopped fresh cilantro and green onion, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Rub the ribs all over with the five-spice powder; then season generously with salt and pepper. Put the ribs in a single layer in a roasting pan and slow-roast until they are almost tender, about 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile make the glaze. In a large bowl combine the soy sauce, grapefruit juice, hoisin sauce, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, chili, garlic and ginger in a saucepan. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the sauce reduces and thickens then remove from the heat. Strain the sauce and reserve.
  • When the ribs are about 30 minutes away from being done, baste them with the teriyaki sauce. Cook until the meat pulls easily from the bone (about 1/2-inch of bone will show).
  • Just before serving, preheat the broiler. Baste the ribs again with the teriyaki sauce and brown them under the broiler for 5 to 8 minutes. (Keep a close eye on these guys - ribs go from perfectly crisp to perfectly burnt in 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.

CHINESE BARBECUED SPARERIBS



Chinese Barbecued Spareribs image

This recipe appeared in The Times in an article by June Owen. In an earlier version of this recipe, Owen recommended first roasting the ribs for 55 minutes in an oven set at 350 degrees. This way, when you finish them on the grill, they will be less likely to char and spoil the lacquered look. The choice is yours. David Myers noted that the ribs would also go well with the cucumber salad and preserved ginger from the salmon recipe that follows. But their best accompaniment is probably just a good cold beer.

Time 1h35m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons ketchup
4 pounds pork spareribs, cut into serving pieces

Steps:

  • In a pan large enough to fit the ribs, combine the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ketchup and 1/2 cup water. Marinate the spareribs in this mixture in the refrigerator for several hours, turning a few times.
  • Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to low. Arrange the spareribs on a hinged grill basket and cook over a low flame, basting occasionally, for 1 1/2 hours or until the ribs are shiny brown and fork-tender. As the meat cooks, the basket should be turned frequently so that neither side gets charred.

  • Trim the ribs: Remove any excess fat or cartilage from the ribs. You can also cut the ribs into individual pieces, if desired.

  • Cook the ribs slowly: Chinese spareribs are typically cooked slowly over low heat. This helps to tenderize the ribs and develop their flavor.

  • Serve the ribs hot: Chinese spareribs are best served hot, straight out of the oven. They can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.
