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.

COUNTRY STYLE ASIAN BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the marinade ingredients; pour the prepared marinade into a heavy-duty gallon bag that has been placed into a large bowl. Add the pork ribs to the marinade and seal well; let the ribs marinate in the fridge for at least 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degree F. Wrap two large rimmed baking sheets with heavy-duty foil.Remove the ribs from the marinade, patting each one dry; place the ribs onto one of the foil-lined baking sheets; cover with foil. **Reserve the marinade for use as a sauce later! Bake the ribs, covered, for 1 1/2 hours or until they are starting to become fork-tender. Remove the cooked ribs from the baking sheet (it will be full of grease after cooking the ribs) to the second foil-lined baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, place the reserved marinade into a sauce pan over medium heat; bring to a boil, simmering the marinade until reduced, about 4-5 minutes. When the sauce is nicely reduced and thickened, remove it from the heat.
• Slather the ribs with the sauce; continue to bake, uncovered this time, for an additional 30 minutes or until the ribs are very fork-tender, bubbly, and caramelized. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, if using. Serve the ribs with warm sauce on the side, if desired.
