Barbecued Spare Ribs : Pork
Barbecued Spare Ribs are a classic American barbecue meal, made from pork. This version is cooked in the oven, not on a barbecue, and uses a barbecue sauce with a distinct Asian flavor, featuring soy sauce, rice vinegar, and garlic.
Ingredients
2 pounds pork spare ribs
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons hoisen sauce
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoons saki
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground white pepper
2 tablespoons chicken stock
freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste
Procedure
Place spare ribs in a large baking dish in one layer. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over spare ribs and coat on both sides. Marinate overnight, basting occasionally.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place a large, shallow roasting pan on the oven bottom. Fill with 1/2 inch water. Place spare ribs on a roasting rack.
Roast ribs for 45 minutes.
Raise oven temperature to 450°F, and roast for 15 more minutes.
Serve hot or cold.
Notes, tips, and variations
Alternatively, Bake at 375°F for 20 mins then lower the temp to 325°F for 1 hour; this renders most of the fat and produces very tender meat.
