These Chinese spareribs are tender, juicy, and delicious. I created this recipe after nothing caught my eye while searching for a good sparerib recipe. I cook the spareribs in a broiler tray in the oven, but they should be fine to cook on a grill.
Preparation Details
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 2 hrs 45 mins
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sake (or Chinese rice wine)
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- ½ teaspoon grated fresh garlic
- ¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 pound pork spareribs
Steps
- Gather all ingredients.
- Mix hoisin sauce, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, sake, rice vinegar, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, and five-spice powder together in a shallow glass dish. Place ribs in the dish and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Fill a broiler tray with enough water to cover the bottom. Place the grate or a rack over the tray; arrange ribs on the grate.
- Cook in the preheated oven on the center rack for 40 minutes, turning and brushing with marinade every 10 minutes.
- Let marinade cook on for final 10 minutes to make a glaze. Finish under the broiler if desired. Discard any remaining marinade.
