Provided by Elaine

Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 15

800 g ribs
black pepper
1 tbsp. toasted white sesame seeds for garnishing
2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
1 tsp. cumin powder + 1 tsp. Chinese five spice powder as a dry dip mix (optional)
2 tbsp. hoisin sauce
2 tbsp. light soy sauce
1 tbsp. oyster sauce
1 tbsp. Chinese cooking wine or rose wine
1 tbsp. honey
1/4 tsp. Chinese five spice powder
1 thumb ginger (sliced)
1 tbsp. honey
1/2 tbsp. previous marinating sauce
1/2 tbsp. hot water

Steps:

  • Pre-soak the ribs with clean water for 30 minutes. During the process, the clean water turns slightly pink or red. Change the water once after the first 10 minutes. Then drain completely.
  • Whisk all of the marinating sauce in a bowl. Pour the marinating sauce to the ribs. Set aside for at least 4 hours or overnight in fridge.
  • Get a lined baking sheet, place only the ribs in. Wrap the ribs with foil paper. Pre-heat oven to 180 degree C.
  • Place the baking sheet in the middle rack and roast for 40 minutes (depending how soft you want the ribs to be). Take the upper foil off and then brush the honey water. Rise the oven temperature to 200 degree C. Continue roasting for around 10 minutes until well colored.

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 slabs baby back ribs, trimmed of excess fat, about 3 pounds
1/3 cup Chinese five-spice powder
1 strip thick cut bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 shallot, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1/3 cup ketchup
2 heaping tablespoons honey
2 heaping tablespoons apricot preserves
2 heaping tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons chili sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
2 green onions, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to approximately 250 degrees F.
  • Lightly season the ribs with the five-spice powder so it forms a light crust. Put the ribs, meat side up, over an area of the grill with indirect heat. Let the ribs cook for 2 hours.
  • While the ribs are cooking, prepare the barbecue sauce. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook slowly to render its fat, about 4 to 5 minutes. Discard the particles with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Reduce the heat to low, add the shallot and garlic, and saute until fragrant and slightly caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the light soy sauce and rice vinegar. Allow the liquid to deglaze the pan for a moment, and then whisk vigorously to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the hoisin sauce and ketchup, and continue whisking together until well incorporated. Simmer the glaze for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the honey, apricot preserves and brown sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ginger, whisk and keep simmering for 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the chili sauce and let the sauce simmer for a final 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from heat. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce in a separate bowl.
  • After the ribs have cooked for 1 hour, begin basting them with the barbecue sauce. Coat them well once every 15 minutes, until the ribs reach an internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the ribs from the grill to a cutting board and let rest, tented with aluminum foil for 5 minutes. Slice the ribs between each bone and arrange them on a serving dish. Drizzle with the reserved glaze and garnish with the chopped green onions.

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

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:

  • Choose the right ribs: Select high-quality pork ribs, preferably spare ribs or baby back ribs, for the best flavor and texture.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure they cook evenly and become tender.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is key to infusing the ribs with delicious flavors. Use a combination of soy sauce, rice wine, honey, garlic, ginger, and spices to create a flavorful and aromatic marinade.
  • Slow-cook the ribs: Cooking the ribs slowly over low heat allows them to become fall-off-the-bone tender and absorb all the flavors from the marinade.
  • Glaze the ribs: Baste the ribs with a glaze made from honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar during the last few minutes of cooking to add a glossy sheen and extra flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Spicy Chinese barbeque riblets are perfect for serving with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a refreshing salad.

Conclusion:

These spicy Chinese barbeque riblets are a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion.
