Peking Pork Spare Ribs Recipes

STICKY CHINESE PORK SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Mix marinade ingredients together in a bowl or freezer bag. Add the ribs and marinate for at least an hour, or overnight if possible. You can freeze the marinaded meat if you wish.
• Before cooking, let the ribs come to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 160C/320F.
• Pour the ribs and all the marinade into a baking dish large enough so the ribs are in a single layer, but not so large that they are too spread out.
• Add water up to about 1/3 of the way up the ribs. 6 Cover tightly with foil and place in oven to cook for approximately 1.5 hours.
• Take out of the oven, remove the foil and touch the ribs - they should be quite tender, but not falling off the bone. The marinade in the baking dish should still be quite watery.
• Turn the ribs over, then return the baking dish to the oven without the foil. After 20 minutes, take the ribs out - they should be nicely browned and starting to char. Turn the ribs, then spoon the marinade over, then return to the oven for another 10 to 20 minutes.
• The ribs are done when they are falling off the bone, sticky and glossy and the marinade has reduced down to a thick sauce coating the ribs.
• Rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with coriander, sesame seeds, julienned shallots and sliced fresh red chilli.
