Made this dish the other night, and it was fantastic! We BBQ'd the ribs, slowly over low heat and the flavour was fully infused. Even better the next day re-heated!

    I was asked to bring "Chinese Ribs" to my book club meeting (theme menu based on the book) I doubled this cuz there are 15 of us, and didn't do step 7 cuz when I was reducing the liquid I got looking around Zaar and reduced it way too much! but otherwise, I followed the recipe to a T. You should have smelled my house!!! This was such a big hit, everyone wanted the recipe, I think we'll have a few more members after this!

    So easy to make! Ribs were juicy and full of flavor! I didn't add chili paste (replaced with garlic powder) Next time, I may want to reduce the amount of hoisin and soy sauce just a tad as it was a little too salty for my taste. Otherwise, it was delicious!!
