Five Spice Hoisin Ribs With Scallions Green Onions Recipes

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. Remove the foil and continue baking, brushing with the reserved marinade every 10 to 15 minutes, until cooked through and well browned, 40 to 50 minutes more.
• Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds, scallions and lime wedges.

STICKY HOISIN RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/gas 3.
• Sprinkle the ribs with the five-spice and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then rub all over. Arrange the ribs in a large roasting tray. Break apart the garlic bulb and scatter over the unpeeled cloves, then halve and add the oranges.
• Cover the tray tightly with tin foil, and roast in the middle of the oven for 3 hours, or until tender and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, for the salad, trim the spring onions, radishes and fennel, and deseed the chillies, then finely slice it all lengthways and place into a bowl of ice-cold water to make it super-crisp. Pick in the coriander leaves and put aside.
• Make a quick salad dressing by mixing the sesame oil, rice wine vinegar and soy together. Peel and finely grate in the ginger, then taste and season to perfection with black pepper.
• Remove the tray from the oven and move the ribs to a board. Carefully squeeze the sticky orange juice back into the tray. Squeeze the soft garlic flesh out of the skins and mash it up, scraping up all the sticky bits from the tray.
• Place the tray over a medium heat on the hob or over your barbecue, let it start to bubble, then pour in the hoisin sauce. Let it tick away for a few minutes, or until thick and shiny, then remove.
• Now, dunk each rack of ribs in the glaze, using your woody herbs as a brush to generously coat them all over, and transferring to the cool side of the barbecue as you go. Cook for another 10 minutes or so, covered with the air valve open.
• Meanwhile, cook the jasmine rice according to the packet instructions, then fluff up and divide between your plates. Drain and dry the salad veg, then toss with the dressing and plate up. Pile the sticky ribs on top, get stuck in, and get messy!

SPICY HOISIN-GLAZED RIBS

Steps:

• Prepare the ribs the night before: Trim the membrane from the back of 2 racks (about 4 pounds) St. Louis pork ribs. Then make the rub: Whisk 1 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tablespoons chopped ginger, 5 chopped garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder; coat the ribs with the mixture and refrigerate overnight. Preheat a grill to medium-high on one side and place a drip pan under the cooler side. Set the ribs over the drip pan (use a rib rack, if you have one). Cover, making sure the vent holes are directly over the ribs; cook for 3 hours, or until the meat pulls back from the bones. To make the sauce, whisk 1/2 cup hoisin sauce, 2 to 3 tablespoons Asian chili sauce and 1 tablespoon water; brush onto the meat and cook over direct heat until glazed. Cut the racks into ribs and sprinkle with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.

SLOW-COOKED HOISIN PORK ROAST WITH GREEN ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Heat oil in heavy large ovenproof pot over high heat. Add pork shoulder, fat side down; brown on all sides, turning often, about 12 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Spread hoisin sauce over pork; sprinkle with green onion pieces and peppercorns. Cover pot and place in oven. Cook until pork is very tender when pierced with fork, about 2 3/4 hours, adding water to pot by 1/4 cupfuls if mixture is dry.
• Remove pot from oven. Transfer pork to cutting board and tent with foil. Let pork stand 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, spoon off fat from pan juices. Stir whisky and 3/4 cup water into juices; boil 2 minutes. Add more water by tablespoonfuls if sauce is too thick, or boil to reduce sauce if too thin.
• Cut pork crosswise on slight diagonal into 1-inch-thick slices. Garnish with sliced green onions. Pour pan sauce over pork and serve.

STICKY FIVE-SPICE SHORT RIBS

• 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.
