SWEET AND STICKY PORK RIBS

Steps:

• For the ribs: Place the ribs in a roasting pan, cutting the racks in half to fit if necessary. Combine the garlic, rosemary, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt and cayenne in a small bowl, and rub the mixture evenly all over the ribs. Allow the ribs to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pour 1/2 cup water into the roasting pan and cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Roast the ribs until the meat is very tender and separate easily from the bone, about 1 1/2 hours. While the ribs are roasting make the BBQ sauce.
• For the sauce: Place the balsamic vinegar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to medium and cook the vinegar until it is reduced by a third, about 8 minutes. Whisk in the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, molasses, Worcestershire, hot sauce and salt. Bring the the sauce back to a boil then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• To finish, remove the ribs from the oven and transfer to 2 aluminum-foil-lined baking sheets. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Brush both sides of the ribs generously with the BBQ sauce and bake uncovered for 10 minutes, until the sauce is browned and sizzling. Allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

STICKY SWEET RIBS

Steps:

• For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place ribs, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, pepper and 1 quart water in a roasting pan, cover with foil and roast for 4 hours. Remove foil and pour off excess liquid, then chill thoroughly.
• For the sauce: Combine guava, soy sauce, honey, yuzu lime juice and salt and pepper in a saucepot and bring to a simmer on high heat. Combine cornstarch and enough water to make a slurry in a small bowl, then add to sauce while simmering. Cook at medium-high heat for 2 more minutes, then remove from heat.
• Preheat a grill for cooking at medium-high heat.
• Slice ribs into 2-rib portions, then grill 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Remove and place in saucepot with simmering sauce and simmer until hot, about 5 minutes.

STICKY FIVE-SPICE SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
• Mix together sherry, oyster sauce, and brown sugar until evenly combined; set aside. Pat ribs dry with a paper towel and season well with salt and five-spice powder.
• Place a 3-quart Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed, shallow pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat and add oil. When oil starts to smoke, add ribs and sear until well browned, about 2 minutes per side.
• Remove ribs to a plate and set aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings, return pan to stove, and add garlic, ginger, and chile and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in reserved sherry mixture and bring to a simmer.
• Return ribs to pan and bring to a simmer. Cover and transfer to oven to cook, turning occasionally, until meat is knife tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Increase oven to 400 degrees F and cook, covered, until ribs are sticky, about 30 more minutes.

STICKY-SWEET FIVE-SPICE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Place racks in upper third and middle of oven; preheat to 350°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a double layer of foil. Mix brown sugar, 1/2 Tbsp. kosher salt, and 1/2 Tbsp. Chinese five-spice powder in a small bowl to make a rub.
• Cut St. Louis-style ribs in half. Transfer to prepared sheet. Season all over with spice rub, being sure to coat sides and edges and to gently press the rub into the meat. Pour 1½ cups water into baking sheet, then cover tightly with foil. Bake on middle rack until meat is very tender and bones are exposed, 100-115 minutes. If racks of ribs you're cooking are much smaller than called for, check early-they'll cook in less time.
• Meanwhile, whisk hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, and remaining 1/2 tsp. Chinese five-spice powder in a small saucepan to combine.
• Peel and finely grate ginger and garlic cloves into saucepan. Heat over medium and bring to simmer, whisking often. Cook, stirring, until just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 2-3 minutes longer. Cover pot; set aside until ribs are ready.
• When ribs are cooked and tender, carefully remove and discard top layer of foil from baking sheet. Preheat broiler.
• Brush half of sauce over ribs, turning ribs with tongs to coat both sides. Arrange flesh side (convex side) up. Transfer to top rack of oven and broil until ribs are lacquered in sauce and caramelized in some parts, 4-5 minutes. Remove from oven and brush remaining sauce over.
• Transfer ribs to a cutting board. Cut in between each bone to separate ribs. Transfer to a platter or serve right off cutting board.

Steps:

• In a bowl mix soy sauce, orange marmalade, pineapple juice, honey, garlic, fresh ginger, lemon juice, rosemary and black pepper.

• Set in a large bowl and refrigerate from 8-24 hours turning occasionally.

• Set a rack in the pan, then arrange the ribs in a single layer with edges curving down on rack.
• Pour the remaining marinade from the bags into a bowl.
• Bake the ribs basting with the remaining marinade about every 20 minutes for the first hour, until the meat is well browned and pulls easily from the bones (about 1-1/4 hours total baking time).
• Transfer the ribs to a serving platter and cut between bones.
• Delicious!

STICKY HOISIN SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Remove the membrane from the rack of spareribs, then cut into individual ribs. Place the ribs in a large resealable bag.
• Whisk to combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, rice vinegar, ketchup, sriracha, ginger, Chinese five-spice, red gel food coloring and garlic in a medium bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade and pour the remaining marinade into the bag with the ribs. Seal the bag and massage to coat the ribs with the marinade. Place the bag on a small baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Remove the ribs from the marinade and discard the liquid. Place the ribs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes.
