1-2-3-4-5 Ribs is a wickedly tasty, simple dish of tender pork ribs coated in a sticky, sweet and sour sauce that's hard to resist!

Provided by Judy

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds pork ribs ((680g, the meatier the better, cut into 1.5- to 2-inch pieces))
2 tablespoons oil
4 slices ginger
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
3 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar
4 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Select meaty ribs, and have the butcher cut them into 1.5" to 2" long pieces. Rinse, and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Preheat a wok until it starts to smoke lightly (see my post on how to prevent food from sticking to a wok). Add 2 tablespoons oil, along with the ginger slices. Over medium heat, fry the ginger for 1 minute. Add the ribs, turn up the heat to high, and take a few minutes to brown both sides.
  • Turn down the heat, and add in 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine, 2 tablespoons light soy sauce, 3 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar, 4 tablespoons sugar, and 5 tablespoons water. Stir and mix everything well. Turn up the heat to bring it to a boil.
  • Once boiling, cover and reduce the heat to medium/low. Simmer for 25 minutes (20 minutes if the ribs are less meaty than mine). Halfway through the process, check to make sure the liquid is not drying up. If so, reduce the heat further and add in a little more water if needed.
  • After 25 minutes of simmering, remove the lid. There should be quite a bit of liquid left. Time to turn up the heat to reduce the sauce and make the ribs glisten. With the heat on high, continuously stir and toss the ribs. This process takes only a couple of minutes. Reduce the liquid until there is ¼ cup of liquid left and the ribs are gleaming with sauce! Serve immediately.

Learn how to make this easy Cantonese take on barbecue ribs!

Provided by Made With Lau

Categories     Dinner, Main Course

Time 1h15m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lb pork rib
1 tbsp garlic salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
1 tsp white pepper
2 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
0.5 tsp five spice powder
0.25 tsp red food coloring
2 tbsp maltose/honey

Steps:

  • Create cuts between the bones and along the thick side of the ribs so that the meat takes on the flavors better and that it cooks faster.
  • Rub garlic salt onto the ribs. Make sure to cover all surfaces on both sides. Pay special attention to the slits that you made earlier.
  • In a medium bowl, mix sugar, salt, white pepper, ketchup, cooking wine, five-spice powder, and red food coloring (which is optional). Set aside for the next step.
  • Place ribs in a tray lined with a plastic sheet and spread the marinade thinly onto both sides of the ribs. Wrap ribs with the plastic sheet when finished.
  • For the glaze, you can use maltose or honey. Brush it over the spare ribs and they'll glisten and taste great.
  • Remove ribs from the refrigerator and allow them to rest for about an hour. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • After 30-35 minutes of baking, remove the ribs and brush the glaze of choice onto them.
  • Once the ribs have been baking for about 45 minutes in total, take it out and let it rest for 10 minutes.

CHINESE-STYLE BARBECUED RIBS



Chinese-Style Barbecued Ribs image

These are the best oven-roasted ribs ever, and they can also be finished on a grill for extra smoky flavor. Creating steam in the oven is the key to tender meat. The ingredients here are close to the ones used by traditional Cantonese barbecue masters to produce sticky-salty-sweet meat that has a reddish, caramelized crust - with ketchup standing in for Chinese red fermented tofu. (It can be left out if desired.) Although these ribs are presented as an appetizer in many American Chinese restaurants, barbecued meat is traditionally a main course, served with freshly cooked rice and a green side like smashed cucumber salad or stir-fried bok choy.

Time 6h

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
4 scallions, white and pale green parts only, plus additional sliced scallion for garnish
3/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup ketchup, or 4 tablespoons tomato paste or Chinese red bean paste (nan ru)
1/4 cup honey or light corn syrup, more to taste
1/4 cup soy sauce, more to taste
1/3 cup Chinese rice wine or vodka
1/4 cup rice vinegar or cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
2 racks baby back or St. Louis-style pork spareribs, 5 to 10 pounds total (see note)
Cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, mince garlic and scallions. Add hoisin, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, rice wine or vodka, rice vinegar and five-spice powder. Process until well blended. Taste for sweetness; the mixture should be sweet like barbecue sauce, not candy. Adjust the taste with honey, soy sauce and vinegar.
  • Set aside 1/3 cup marinade for basting. Transfer remaining marinade to a container or pan large enough to hold the ribs, or to large resealable plastic bags. Add ribs and turn until well coated. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, and up to 2 days, turning occasionally in the marinade.
  • Heat oven to 300 degrees. Set up a rimmed baking sheet (or two) with an oven-safe wire rack that fits inside, the kind you'd use for cooling cookies. Line the bottoms of the pans with foil or nonstick baking mats. Place the racks inside the pans and place the empty pans on the bottom rack of the oven. Pour in hot water until it comes about halfway up the sides of the pan. (Do not skip the water: The steam helps cook the meat to the right tenderness.)
  • When the oven is hot, remove the ribs from the marinade and place on the racks, meaty side up. Bake without basting, 1 hour for baby back ribs, 2 hours for St. Louis style ribs. Check the water level occasionally to make sure it hasn't cooked off.
  • Remove ribs from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Pour off any water from the baking sheet and return the ribs to the racks. (Alternatively, you can finish the ribs on a medium-hot grill; see below.)
  • Return ribs to the oven and roast (or grill), basting 2 or 3 times with reserved marinade, for 20 to 30 minutes (less time for baby backs, more for spareribs). Watch the ribs carefully to make sure that the edges don't burn, and don't baste them too close to the end; they should be dry and sticky, not wet on the surface.
  • Use a big knife to cut between the bones, making sure that each rib has meat on both sides. Mound on a platter, sprinkle with scallions and cilantro, and serve immediately.
