STICKY SPICY SLOW-COOKED RIBS

Steps:

• Cut the racks into 2-rib pieces, season with salt and pepper and put into a slow cooker.
• In a bowl, mix together the preserves, ketchup, mustard, soy sauce, garlic, chipotles, ginger and hot sauce. Pour the mixture over the ribs and cover. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours.
• When the ribs are cooked, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker and place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Skim the fat from the juices and transfer the juices to a pan. Place the pan on medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.
• Mix the cornstarch and 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the juices in the pan and cook until the desired thickness.
• Brush the ribs with the sauce and bake, brushing with more sauce every 10 to 15 minutes, until the ribs are glazed and sticky, about 45 minutes. Serve with extra sauce.

STICKY RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl (I did 30 grinds).
• Place the ribs on a piece of foil large enough to fold over and seal, then place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the dry rub all over the top of the meaty side of the ribs. Wrap the foil around the ribs and seal tightly so that no juices can escape during baking. Bake until the meat is tender and can easily be pulled away from the bones with a fork, about 2 hours.
• Heat the BBQ sauce in a small pan over medium heat until warm. Remove the ribs from the oven and open the foil pack. Remove the ribs from the foil and pour any juices that have accumulated into the BBQ sauce and mix to combine. Continue to simmer the sauce until thickened, about 7 minutes.
• Heat a grill or grill pan for cooking at medium-high heat.
• Slice the ribs into 1-bone pieces. Brush all over with the BBQ sauce. Place the ribs on the grill and cook until grill marks appear, a few minutes on each side. Brush with more BBQ sauce and remove from the heat, then serve with the remaining BBQ sauce on the side.

DRAGON'S BREATH STICKY RIBS

Steps:

• Place the ribs, carrot, celery, onion and thyme in a large pot, cover with water. Bring to a boil and boil for 30 to 45 minutes; drain.
• While the ribs are precooking, place the soy sauce, mustard, brown sugar, honey, hoisin sauce, tomato paste, ginger and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Squeeze the roasted garlic pulp into a small dish, mash and add to the pan stirring to combine. Bring to a low boil and cook until ingredients are well blended and warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the ribs from the water, pat dry. Discard the boiling water and vegetables. Place ribs on a roasting pan that has been lined with foil and baste generously with the sauce. For easy release, spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray or use easy release foil.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, place the ribs in the oven and cook until fork tender; about an hour, basting every 15 minutes with the sauce.

CHINESE STICKY RIBS

Steps:

• For the Ribs: Adjust oven rach to middle position and heat oven to 250 degrees. With tip of paring knife, loosen membrane on underside of each rach of ribs. Grab membrane with paper towel and pull it off slowly in a single piece. Combine remaining ingredients in a large roasting pan. Add ribs to pan, turning to coat both sides, and arrange meaty side down. Cover pan tightly with foil and cook until just tender, 2.5-3 hours Transfer ribs to a large plate.
• For the Glaze: Strain 3 cups cooking liquid from roasting pan into large nonstick skillet, and discard solids and remaining liquid. Do not wash roasting pan. Using wide spoon, skim fat from liquid. Stir in jelly and vinegar. Bring to simmer over medium high heat and cook until syrupy and reduced to 2 cups, about 15-20 minutes. Off heat, stir in cilantro and cayenne.
• Heat broiler (do not raise oven rack). Pour enough water into roasting pan to cover bottom and fit pan with a flat roasting rack. Reserve 1/2 cup glaze for serving. Arrange ribs on rack meaty side down and brush with glaze. Place roasting pan back on middle rack in oven and broil until beginning to brown, 2-4 minutes. Flip ribs over, brush with more glaze, then broil, brusing ribs with glaze every 2-4 minutes until ribs are deep mahogany color, 9-12 minutes. Transfer ribs to cutting board, tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes. Slice between bones, transfer ribs to platter, brush with reserved glaze. Sprinkle with scallions. Serve.
