Soups and Starters Recipes - Chinese Barbecued Spare Ribs Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 4-6

  • 1.5 kg/3 lb pork spare ribs

  • salt and pepper

Marinade:

  • 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce

  • 2 tablespoons clear honey

  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 125 ml/4 fl oz Chicken Stock

  • 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder

Method:

  1. Rub the spare ribs all over with a little salt, then sprinkle generously with pepper and place in a shallow ovenproof dish large enough to hold all the ribs in a single layer.

  2. Make the marinade by mixing all the ingredients in  a bowl or jug. Stir thoroughly, then pour the marinade over the ribs, cover and leave in a cool place for 4 hours, turning the ribs halfway through.

  3. Drain the marinade into a jug and put the spare ribs into a hinged wire grill for ease of turning.

  4. Cook under a preheated grill or on the greased grill of a barbecue for 10 minutes, then turn and cook for 10 minutes more.

  5. Baste with the marinade, turn the ribs again and cook for 15 minutes, then baste and turn again, cooking for a final 10 minutes.
