Asian Braised Baby Back Ribs Food

ASIAN-SPICED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Make the brine: Remove 3 wide strips zest from the orange with a vegetable peeler. Squeeze 3 tablespoons orange juice and set aside. Combine 2 strips of the zest, 4 cups water, 1/3 cup salt, 1/2 cup brown sugar, the star anise, pickling spice and ginger slices in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the salt and sugar dissolve. Remove from the heat and add 4 cups cold water; let cool to room temperature.
• Put the ribs meat-side down on a cutting board. Insert a paring knife between the membrane and the bones on one end, then loosen the membrane with your fingers and gently pull it off. Put the ribs in a roasting pan and pour the brine on top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and grated ginger; cook 1 minute. Add the sherry, bring to a boil and cook until slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, the 3 tablespoons orange juice, the remaining 1 strip orange zest, the chicken broth, vinegar and soy sauce and simmer until reduced to about 1 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Set aside 1/4 cup sauce for serving; use the rest for brushing. (The sauce can be made up to 1 day in advance.)
• Prepare a grill for indirect heat: For gas, preheat to medium high, then turn off half of the burners and turn the other burners to medium low. For charcoal, once the coals ash over, push them to one side.
• Remove the ribs from the brine and pat dry. Mix 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper and the cayenne in a bowl and rub on the ribs. Put bone-side down on the cooler part of the grill; cover and cook 1 hour. Brush with 1/2 cup of the sauce; cover and cook 1 more hour, brushing with more sauce during the last 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into ribs. Serve with the reserved sauce.

• Rub olive oil on ribs then generously cover both sides of ribs with rub, there's enough to do 2 racks.
• Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hrs or as long as 24 hours.
• For covered charcoal grill: Start coals 30-45 minutes prior to cooking, soak a couple hand fulls of hickory chips in water.
• Meanwhile, place each rack of ribs, curved side down on two layers of heavy duty aluminum foil, which have been wiped with a thin coat of vegetable oil use a piece of foil large enough to seal over the top.
• Form a pan with the foil.
• After coals turn white push them all to one side, drain wood chips, place soaked wood chips on hot coals, replace grill top.
• Soak some more chips.
• Place ribs and foil on cool side of grill, carefully pour water to the foil 'pans' to no more than 1/2" up the sides of the ribs.
• Replace lid on grill.
• Every 30 minutes add a few coals and some of the soaked chips and reverse the position of the ribs (rotate and reverse).
• Turn over about 1/2 way through the cooking process so they finish curved side up.
• Depending on your grill it could take as long as 4 hrs or as little as 1 hr to cook.
• To finish ribs, remove from heat, drain liquid from foil pan (reserve for sauce if desired) carefully cut racks into serving sized chunks (3-4 ribs), brush with sauce and return to hot side of grill for a few minutes to brown a bit.
• You can brown them under the broiler right in the foil pans if coals are not hot enough.
• This procedure can be replicated on a two (or more) zoned gas grill.
• Put the chips in another foil 'pan' and place them over the heat, when they start to smoke put the ribs over the cool side and cover.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a wide stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the short ribs, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, lemongrass, ginger, brown sugar, water, green onion bottoms, crushed red pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the orange juice. Make sure that the stockpot is deep enough so that the short ribs are submerged in the liquid.
• Bake the short ribs, covered, for about 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bones. Remove the short ribs from the braising liquid and cover to keep warm. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
• Drain the fat off of the cooking liquid and discard. Place the remaining braising juices in a medium saucepan with 1/4 cup of the hoisin sauce and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the liquid until only about 1 1/4 cups remain. Strain through a fine-meshed strainer, discarding the solids. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of orange juice and the lemon juice.
• Return the short ribs and the reduced sauce to the stockpot or Dutch oven, coating the short ribs well with the sauce. Bake for 10 minutes, until the short ribs are heated through and slightly glazed. Serve hot over jasmine rice. Season each portion with the orange zest and garnish with the green onions if desired.

WHO LOVES YA BABY-BACK?

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
• In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients and mix well. Place each slab of baby back ribs on a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, shiny side down. Sprinkle each side generously with the dry rub. Pat the dry rub into the meat. Refrigerate the ribs for a minimum of 1 hour. In a microwavable container, combine all ingredients for the braising liquid. Microwave on high for 1 minute.
• Place the ribs on a baking sheet. Open one end of the foil on each slab and pour half of the braising liquid into each foil packet. Tilt the baking sheet in order to equally distribute the braising liquid. Braise the ribs in the oven for 2 1/2 hours.
• Transfer the braising liquid into a medium saucepot. Bring the liquid to a simmer and reduce by half or until of a thick syrup consistency. Brush the glaze onto the ribs. Place under the broiler just until the glaze caramelizes lightly. Slice each slab into 2 rib bone portions. Place the remaining hot glaze into a bowl and toss the rib portions in the glaze.

• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high direct and indirect grilling.
• Remove the ribs from the marinade and pat dry. Sprinkle on all sides with the five-spice powder and a few pinches of salt and pepper. Put on the indirect side of the grill, bone side down, and cover the grill. Cook until the meat is tender and the ribs are crisp on the outside, rotating halfway about through, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Whisk the hoisin and sriracha together in a small bowl. Transfer the ribs to the direct heat side of the grill and continue to cook for an additional 30 minutes, brushing with the sauce about every 10 minutes until the ribs are well glazed. Transfer the ribs to cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Cut between the ribs and transfer to a serving platter. Scatter the scallions over the top if using.

ASIAN BRAISED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Mix all the dry rub ingredients together. Place the slab ribs on a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Sprinkle each side with the dry rub and pat it into the meat. Seal the foil around the ribs and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour (I left them overnight). Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Place the ribs bone side down in a deep roasting pan or baking dish large enough to accommodate the slab (9-by-13-inch works well). Measure the beer in a large glass measuring cup and stir in the molasses. Pour this mixture around, not over, the pork. Cover tightly with foil and braise, basting every 30 minutes or so, until the ribs are tender enough that you can easily slide a knife between the meat and bone, about 2 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven. Discard the braising liquid. Heat the broiler on high. Whisk together the glaze ingredients. Place the ribs on a broiling pan or baking sheet and paint them on all sides with the glaze using a pastry brush. Broil for about 2 minutes total, basting the glaze again after the first minute. Serve hot or warm.

KOREAN BBQ BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• BBQ sauce: In a saucepan, bring all ingredients to a simmer over low heat. Cook uncovered, 1-2 hours. (Note: Sauce can also be made while the ribs are baking during the first hour, Step 3.)
• Ribs: Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Place ribs on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle rub all over the ribs, using more on the meaty side. Massage the rub into the meat (tip: wear non-latex gloves for easy cleanup). Cover with foil and chill in the refrigerator at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Remove ribs from refrigerator and wrap each rack tightly in foil. Place them in a roasting pan side by side and bake 1 hour. (Alternatively, you can smoke the ribs, uncovered, in a smoker at 220 degrees F for 1 hour.)

CHINESE-STYLE BARBECUED RIBS

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, mince garlic and scallions. Add hoisin, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, rice wine or vodka, rice vinegar and five-spice powder. Process until well blended. Taste for sweetness; the mixture should be sweet like barbecue sauce, not candy. Adjust the taste with honey, soy sauce and vinegar.
• Set aside 1/3 cup marinade for basting. Transfer remaining marinade to a container or pan large enough to hold the ribs, or to large resealable plastic bags. Add ribs and turn until well coated. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, and up to 2 days, turning occasionally in the marinade.
• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Set up a rimmed baking sheet (or two) with an oven-safe wire rack that fits inside, the kind you'd use for cooling cookies. Line the bottoms of the pans with foil or nonstick baking mats. Place the racks inside the pans and place the empty pans on the bottom rack of the oven. Pour in hot water until it comes about halfway up the sides of the pan. (Do not skip the water: The steam helps cook the meat to the right tenderness.)
• When the oven is hot, remove the ribs from the marinade and place on the racks, meaty side up. Bake without basting, 1 hour for baby back ribs, 2 hours for St. Louis style ribs. Check the water level occasionally to make sure it hasn't cooked off.
• Remove ribs from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Pour off any water from the baking sheet and return the ribs to the racks. (Alternatively, you can finish the ribs on a medium-hot grill; see below.)
• Return ribs to the oven and roast (or grill), basting 2 or 3 times with reserved marinade, for 20 to 30 minutes (less time for baby backs, more for spareribs). Watch the ribs carefully to make sure that the edges don't burn, and don't baste them too close to the end; they should be dry and sticky, not wet on the surface.
• Use a big knife to cut between the bones, making sure that each rib has meat on both sides. Mound on a platter, sprinkle with scallions and cilantro, and serve immediately.

KOREAN BRAISED SPARE RIBS WITH SOY AND BLACK PEPPER

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, scallions, garlic, ginger, oil, sugar, 2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper and mix well.
• Divide ribs and onions between 2 large rimmed baking sheets and season with salt and pepper. Divide the sauce between the 2 baking sheets and toss to coat the onions and ribs, rubbing the sauce into the ribs. Spread onions in an even layer on the bottom and top with ribs, meat side-up. Add 1/2 cup water to each baking sheet and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Roast for 1 hour, then transfer ribs to a cutting board or platter.
• Season potatoes and carrots with salt and pepper and divide between the 2 baking sheets. Toss with onions and pan juices until coated. Place the ribs back on top of vegetables, meat-side up, and baste with the pan juices. Cover tightly and roast until vegetables and ribs are tender, about 1 hour.
• Transfer ribs to a cutting board or platter. Transfer vegetables to a serving platter. Pour pan sauce into a bowl for serving, skimming off any excess oil. Return all of the ribs to one baking sheet.
• Heat broiler and set an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the heat. Baste ribs with some of the reserved pan sauce and broil, meat side-up, until golden and caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Divide ribs among plates. Drizzle with some of the sauce and garnish with more scallions. Serve with the roasted vegetables, and any combination of kimchi, pickles or rice.

SWEET & SPICY ASIAN STYLE BBQ BACK RIBS

Steps:

• About one hour before you plan to start grilling, make the rub: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, onion powder, chili powder, paprika and pepper. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels, then sprinkle both sides of each rack with the rub. Set aside at room temperature for one hour.
• Preheat the grill for indirect cooking at 250 to 300 degrees F. Add the drained wood chips, if using.
• Place the ribs, meaty side up, over a drip pan, close the grill, and cook for 2 hours, adding about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, jam, vinegar and garlic sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly thickened. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
• Continue to cook the ribs until they're so tender the rack will easily break when bent with tongs, 1 to 2 more hours, spraying on both sides with the tamarind juice every 20 to 30 minutes. Brush the ribs on both sides with the sauce and continue to cook for about 5 minutes, until the sauce is set. Remove from the grill and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Cut the racks into 3- or 4-rib sections and serve. Pass any remaining sauce at the table.
