Five Spice Spareribs With Hoisin Honey Glaze Recipes

HOISIN-SPICE GLAZE

Steps:

• Toast 2 teaspoons five-spice powder in a small saucepan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon peanut oil, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup hoisin sauce, 3 tablespoons each honey and rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 cup water. Boil and reduce to 1 1/2 cups, about 5 minutes.

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.

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.
