Chinese BBQ Spare Ribs

Ingredients

• 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

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   For the glaze, you can use maltose or honey. Brush it over the spare ribs and they'll glisten and taste great.

6. 6

   Remove ribs from the refrigerator and allow them to rest for about an hour. Preheat the oven to 400° F, which is 204° C.

7. 7

   After 30-35 minutes of baking, remove the ribs and brush your glaze of choice onto them.

8. 8

   Once the ribs have been baking for about 45 minutes in total, take it out and let it rest for 10 minutes.
