CHINESE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, marmalade, ketchup and garlic. Pour half into a 5-qt. slow cooker. Top with ribs; drizzle with remaining sauce. , Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until meat is tender. Thicken cooking juices if desired.

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.

STICKY CHINESE SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Cut ribs into serving pieces; place in shallow, foil-lined pan, meaty side down.
• Combine remaining ingredients; brush ribs thoroughly with sauce.
• Cover and bake at 350 degrees F. 1 hour.
• Turn ribs over, pour remaining sauce over ribs and brush with sauce. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes longer; brush occasionally.

CHINESE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Put the ribs in a large pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 mins. Meanwhile, pour the hoisin sauce in a jug and stir in the soy sauce, honey, vinegar and five-spice.
• Drain the ribs very well, then brush with the glaze - if barbecuing, chill, cover and keep in the fridge for later.
• Heat the grill to high, if using. Grill or barbecue for 15-20 mins, turning from time to time until shiny and slightly charred in places. Serve hot.

CHINESE BBQ RIBS WITH HOISIN SAUCE

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.

CHINESE RIBS

Steps:

• In a 3 1/2 quart crock pot, combine ketchup, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, five-spice powder, onion, ginger and garlic.
• Position a broiler rack 6 inches from the source of the heat and preheat the broiler.
• Broil the ribs, turning once, until browned.
• About 10 minutes.
• Transfer the ribs to the crock pot.
• Stir to coat the ribs with the sauce.
• Cover and slow cook until ribs are ender.
• 5-6 hours at 200 degrees (low).
• Transfer the ribs to a platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Skim the fat from the surface of the sauce.
• In a medium saucepan bring the sauce to a simmer over a medium heat.
• Cook until reduced to about 1 cup, 6-8 minutes.
• Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook just until thickened.
• Pour the sauce over ribs and serve immediately with hot cooked rice.

CHINESE SPARERIBS

Steps:

• In a shallow glass dish, mix together the hoisin sauce, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, sake, rice vinegar, lemon juice, ginger, garlic and five-spice powder. Place the ribs in the dish, and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or as long as overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Fill a broiler tray with enough water to cover the bottom. Place the grate or rack over the tray. Arrange the ribs on the grate.
• Place the broiler rack in the center of the oven. Cook for 40 minutes, turning and brushing with the marinade every 10 minutes. Let the marinade cook on for the final 10 minutes to make a glaze. Finish under the broiler if desired. Discard any remaining marinade.

CHINESE FIVE-SPICE SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Have your butcher separate the spareribs into individual ribs and then into chunks which are approximately 7.5cm/3in long. Alternatively do this yourself using a heavy sharp cleaver that can cut through the bones.
• Mix the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and steep the spareribs in the marinade for about 25 minutes at room temperature. Remove the spareribs from the marinade with a slotted spoon.
• Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer or large wok. When the oil is very hot and slightly smoking, slowly brown the marinated spareribs in several batches until they are brown. Drain each cooked batch on kitchen paper. (Leave the cooking oil to cool. Strain it through a filter if you want to re-use it when cooking pork.)
• Put the sauce ingredients into a clean wok or frying pan.
• Bring the sauce to the boil and then reduce the heat. Add the spareribs, cover and simmer gently for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• If necessary, add a little water to the sauce to prevent the spareribs from drying up. Skim off any surface fat, turn onto a warm serving plate and serve at once.

CHINESE BONELESS SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Thinly slice the pork into strips about 3" long and place in a large sealable plastic bag.
• Whisk together the remaining ingredients in a small bowl until well combined.
• Pour the marinade into the plastic bag with the pork.
• Seal the bag and place in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours.
• When ready to cook, preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a baking rack on top.
• Place the pork slices on top of the baking rack. Reserve any extra marinade.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes brushing the pork slices with the extra marinade 2-3 times while cooking.
• Broil for last 1-2 minutes for extra crispy edges.
• Remove from oven and serve with rice and steamed vegetables. Best enjoyed immediately.

CHINESE FRIED RIBS WITH FERMENTED RED BEAN CURD

Steps:

• Place your pork rib pieces into a large bowl. Add the red fermented bean curd, white pepper, sesame oil, five spice powder, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking soda-everything except the cornstarch and frying oil.
• Using your hands, work the mixture into the pork ribs until they are well coated. Marinate anywhere from 2 hours to overnight.
• If you refrigerate the pork ribs overnight, let them come up to room temperature before cooking. When you're ready to fry, pour 3 or more cups of peanut or vegetable oil into a small to medium pot-enough so you have 2-3 inches of oil. Heat your frying oil to 300 degrees F/150 degrees C. It's best to use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the oil temperature before and during the frying process.
• When the marinated ribs are at room temperature and while your oil is heating, toss the ribs once more to redistribute the marinade, as there may be liquid that has pooled. Make sure everything is well-combined. Next, add the cornstarch to the ribs and mix until a paste forms that evenly coats the ribs.
• When the oil reaches frying temperature-either via your thermometer, or when a rib dipped in the oil sizzles strongly-deep fry the pork ribs in small batches, about 4-6 pieces at a time. Use a slotted spoon to separate them as soon as you place them in the oil to avoid sticking and ensure even cooking.
• Turn up the heat once you drop in the ribs, as the oil will cool. As you fry, continue to adjust the heat lower or higher as needed to maintain temperature. The pork ribs should fry fairly quickly, about 5-7 minutes.
• When they're cooked, they'll be a light maroon color and should be crisp all around. Transfer to a paper towel using a slotted spoon. When all the ribs are fried, serve!

BRAISED CHINESE PORK RIBS (WUXI STYLE) 無錫排骨

Steps:

• Cut the spareribs into single-bone pieces. Add the salt, light soy sauce, then marinate overnight.
• Blanch in hot water for three minutes to remove blood and impurities. Rinse and drain in a colander. (Optional step)
• Saute ingredients (B) with the oil in the pan until fragrant. Remove the aromatics.
• Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the frying pan. Pan-fried the spare ribs over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.
• Add ingredients (C). Bring the liquid to a boil and simmer for one hour over low heat or until the ribs become tender. Add water if necessary.
• Remove the ribs from the braising liquid.
• Strain the braising liquid through a fine sieve. Reduce the liquid. Thicken with the 1/2 teaspoon of cornflour.
• Add the ribs back to the sauce. Coat the ribs with the sauce and reduce the sauce further until it becomes syrupy. Serve.

CHINESE SPARE RIBS (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• Cut the ribs between the bones to give individual ribs. Put the in a single layer in the bottom of the slow cooker.
• Mix together the hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice wine, Chinese five spice, ginger and garlic. Pour on top of the ribs and turn them over a little to coat. You should have a thin layer of sauce over the top and a slight 'puddle' around the ribs (see photo above). Put the lid on and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
• After they are cooked and tender, but not falling off the bones too much, carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker and place on a foil-lined baking sheet/tray. Pour the sauce into a small pan and simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly. Pour a little over the ribs and put under the broiler/grill for a couple minutes to caramelize. Serve with some more of the sauce on the side, if you like.

CHINESE BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• (Optional) Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by loosening one end with a knife, and then tearing it away.
• Prepare a large piece of foil (at least 2" / 5 cm bigger than the ribs on all sides) to layer over a baking sheet. Place the ribs back side up onto the foil.
• Combine the dry rub ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Sprinkle evenly over the back of the ribs and rub in. Flip the ribs and sprinkle on the top side, rub in the spice again. Set aside to marinate briefly while preheating the oven to 275°F (135°C).
• Combine the sauce ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well.
• Once the oven is heated, brush a thin layer of sauce all over the ribs.
• Place another piece of foil over the top. Crimp the bottom foil over the top foil and fold a few times to create a sealed parcel.
• Place the ribs in the oven and bake for 2 to 3 hours depending on their size (*Footnote 2). Once done, you can use a thermometer or a fork to poke through the foil to test the doneness. The meat should feel very tender or read at least 160°F/71°C.
• While cooking, prepare a baking tray lined with foil (or parchment paper) and a rack on top.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and turn the heat up to 450°F (230°C).
• Carefully open the parcel and move the ribs to the prepared baking tray. You might need to use 2 spatulas to help with this step because the ribs are extremely tender and might fall apart.
• Generously brush the top and back of the ribs with the sauce, leaving a few tablespoons for after cooking.
• Return the ribs to the oven and bake until beginning to char, 10 to 15 minutes. Check on the ribs every 5 minutes to prevent them from burning.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and brush with a thin layer of sauce. Let cool for 10 minutes then slice the ribs and serve hot with the remaining sauce.

DRY GARLIC RIBS: CANADIAN CHINESE STYLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Layer ribs in a single fashion in a shallow baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a small saucepan over medium-heat, add the broth, sugar, soy, garlic, mustard, and onion. Stir frequently so the sugar does not stick to the bottom. Bring to a boil and cook for a few minutes (making sure the sugar has dissolved.) Remove from heat and pour over ribs. Cover with aluminum foil and place into oven to 1 hour.
• Remove foil and place back into oven for 15 minutes (uncovered.) Remove and flip the ribs. Cook again for 15 minutes. Repeat these two steps one more time, or until meat is cooked through (you can also broil the meat in the end to get a nice crust.)
• Serve over rice (perfect way to use up that extra juice!)

TAKEOUT-STYLE CHINESE SPARE 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.
