Main Chinese Recipes Index

Ingredients:

  • 4 pounds spareribs
  • 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey dissolved in 1/2 cup boiling water

Preparation:

Place the spareribs in a shallow dish. In a small bowl, combine the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar and chopped garlic. Add the mixture to the spareribs and marinate in the refrigerator, covered, overnight. Turn occasionally to make sure the spareribs are completely coated.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Fill a shallow roasting pan with 1/2-inch of water and place in the bottom of the oven. Place the pork on a rack above the water. Roast the pork for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the ribs just begin shrinking and the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush the spareribs with the honey and water mixture several times during roasting. Remove and cool briefly before serving.

Really Delicious on the Grill !!, Member bugs755

I made this as a last minute (additional) dish for a BBQ we were having with friends. They were marinated for only about three hours. If they were this good for such a short marinating time, I know they'll be that much better overnight. Instead of using spareribs, I used Country style ribs and chinese style ribs. I parboiled them with 1/2 onion and two cloves of (smashed) garlic (I do this for all my ribs) for about 45 minutes (30 for the chinese ribs) before marinating them, then put them on the BBQ grill. I brushed them with the honey water mixture ~ this added a nice sweet taste to them. They were super tender & DeLish! Everybody raved about them!
