Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 rack spare ribs, cut in half through the bone
4 tablespoons dark soy sauce
4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
4 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons Shaohsing rice wine or dry sherry
2 heaping tablespoons Chinese five-spice powder
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 Fresno chile, seeded and finely chopped, for garnish
1 scallion, green part only, finely chopped, for garnish

Steps:

Have the butcher cut the rib rack in half through the bone. Cut each half into separate single ribs. In a large bowl, mix together dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice wine, Chinese five-spice powder and light soy sauce. Add the ribs and marinate for as long as possible, overnight is best. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the ribs from the marinade and transfer to a baking sheet, reserving the marinade. Bake the ribs until cooked through and no longer pink at the bone, 30 to 45 minutes. Transfer the reserved marinade to a wok or small saucepot and bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce slightly. Baste the ribs halfway through cooking with the reserved marinade. Remove the ribs from the oven and baste with the rest of the marinade. Sprinkle with the chopped chiles and scallions.
