BBQ Pork Spareribs

This is an adaptation of a traditional Chinese recipe suitable for cooking on a barbecue. You will need a barbecue with a hood for best results, or you can do the boring thing and cook in an oven. It has a really nice sauce that goes well over plain rice.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Blanch ribs in boiling water for two minutes.
  2. 2
    Mix soy sauce, water, sugar, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic and diced onion in a small bowl.
  3. 3
    Place ribs into a lightly oiled baking tray to avoid a mess on your BBQ and pour over the sauce mixture. The tray is also necessary so the sauce can be reserved.
  4. 4
    Cook for 20 minutes over a low heat with the hood of the BBQ closed.
  5. 5
    Add the sherry and season with pepper, stir to mix and turn over the ribs.
  6. 6
    Continue cooking over low temperature with hood down for another 40 minutes, stirring and turning ribs several times.
  7. 7
    Turn the grill section of the BBQ to high and transfer the ribs to the grill. Cook around 5 minutes a side until they are crisp and well browned.
  8. 8
    Blend chicken stock and cornflour together.
  9. 9
    While ribs are grilling add chicken stock and cornflour to sauce mixture, increase temperature and stir until sauce has thickened.
  10. 10
    Serve over boiled rice with sauce poured over top of ribs.

These got rave reviews from my DBF. I went to the Chinese market to get my meat and the butcher asked if I wanted my ribs cut. I figured he knew what he was doing so I said "yes". They came out perfectly cooked in the oven at 375F. for 1 hour. I lined the pan with foil which helped with the clean-up. Now it's going to be a race tomorrow to see who gets the leftovers for lunch!

    What a wonderful, tasty recipe. I followed the recipe exactly except for leaving out the sugar. I'm glad I used a disposable BBQ tray, as it made cleanup so easy. We had these over plain rice as suggested, with lots of yummy sauce over them. Will definitely make again, as they also reheated well in the microwave for lunch the next day. Thanks Peter for another great recipe.

    awesome... i used all the ingredients except the last two, i did'nt want a sauce. I boiled the ribs in water for 10 min to remove excess fat, dried them and then marinaded them in all the other ingredients for 4 hours,put them on an oven tray and cooked for 1 hour at 190c turning occassionally. delicious..
