Chinesesmokyribs Recipes

Steps:

• In a 3 1/2 quart crock pot, combine ketchup, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, five-spice powder, onion, ginger and garlic.
• Position a broiler rack 6 inches from the source of the heat and preheat the broiler.
• Broil the ribs, turning once, until browned.
• About 10 minutes.
• Transfer the ribs to the crock pot.
• Stir to coat the ribs with the sauce.
• Cover and slow cook until ribs are ender.
• 5-6 hours at 200 degrees (low).
• Transfer the ribs to a platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Skim the fat from the surface of the sauce.
• In a medium saucepan bring the sauce to a simmer over a medium heat.
• Cook until reduced to about 1 cup, 6-8 minutes.
• Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook just until thickened.
• Pour the sauce over ribs and serve immediately with hot cooked rice.

Steps:

• In a shallow glass dish, mix together the hoisin sauce, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, sake, rice vinegar, lemon juice, ginger, garlic and five-spice powder. Place the ribs in the dish, and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or as long as 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 rack over the tray. Arrange the ribs on the grate.
• Place the broiler rack in the center of the oven. Cook for 40 minutes, turning and brushing with the marinade every 10 minutes. Let the marinade cook on for the final 10 minutes to make a glaze. Finish under the broiler if desired. Discard any remaining marinade.

Steps:

• Note: Yields 1/2 cup spice rub and about 2/3 cup sauce.
• Make the spice rub: In a small bowl, stir together all the ingredients.
• Cook the ribs: Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 300°F Sprinkle and press 1/4 cup of the rub on both sides of each rib rack.
• Put the racks, meaty side up, on a broiling pan or a wire roasting rack set over a baking sheet.
• Lightly season the ribs with salt and put them in the oven.
• After the first hour, rotate the pan every 30 minutes (If you use two baking sheets, switch their position in the oven, too.) The ribs will sizzle gently as they cook, and they'll become tender after about 2 - 3 hours in the oven.
• To test for doneness, pick up the center of the ribs with tongs; the ends of the ribs should flop downward (this means the fat and cartilage have broken down), and a skewer inserted between the ribs should meet little resistance.
• If the meat between the ribs is still tough, keep cooking, checking every 15 minutes and rotating the pan.
• Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, and sesame oil to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• The sauce will keep for about a week in the refrigerator.
• Cut and serve: When the ribs are done, remove them from the oven, put them on a cutting board meaty side down (so they're easier to slice), and slice them into individual ribs.
• Arrange on a platter and serve with the sauce on the side.
• Or, stack the ribs, drizzle with some of the dipping sauce (serve the rest on the side), and garnish with the sliced scallions.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350*.
• Cut ribs into individual ribs and arrange in a baking pan.
• Bake for 45 minutes.
• Mix sauce ingredients.
• Brush on ribs.
• Bake for 30 more minutes.
• Turn the ribs; brush with more sauce.
• Bake 30 more minutes.

Steps:

• Rub ribs thoroughly with the Chinese Dry Marinade.
• Let stand at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
• Arrange ribs ends down on cooking grill or place bones upright in rib rack.
• Smoke-cook until done.
• Brush ribs with Chinese Barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of cooking, then serve with remaining sauce.

Steps:

• In a 3 1/2 quart slow cooker, combine the catsup, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, five-spice, onion, ginger and garlic. Position a broiler rack 6 inches from the source of heat and preheat the broiler. Broil the ribs, turning once, until browned, about 10 minutes. Tranfer the ribs to the slow cooker. Stir to coat the ribs with the sauce. Cover and slow cook until the ribs are tender, 5-6 hours on low. Transfer the ribs to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Skim the fat from the surface of the sauce. In a medium saucepan, bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until reduced to about 1 cup, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in cornstarch mixture, and cook just until thickened. Pour the sauce over the ribs and serve immediately with hot cooked rice.

Steps:

• Cut ribs into serving pieces; place in shallow, foil-lined pan, meaty side down.
• Combine remaining ingredients; brush ribs thoroughly with sauce.
• Cover and bake at 350 degrees F. 1 hour.
• Turn ribs over, pour remaining sauce over ribs and brush with sauce. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes longer; brush occasionally.

Steps:

• Put the ribs in a large pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 mins. Meanwhile, pour the hoisin sauce in a jug and stir in the soy sauce, honey, vinegar and five-spice.
• Drain the ribs very well, then brush with the glaze - if barbecuing, chill, cover and keep in the fridge for later.
• Heat the grill to high, if using. Grill or barbecue for 15-20 mins, turning from time to time until shiny and slightly charred in places. Serve hot.
