Barbeque Bones

My first meeting with Steamy Kitchen resulted in some pretty spectacular Asian spare ribs. They were so mouthwateringly (oh I’m sure it’s a word) delicious that I have since experimented with the recipe and found my own favourite version:

For the glaze, you’ll need

5 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tsp minced ginger
½ oinion, minced
7 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp sambal oelek
2 tbsp olive oil
1 dl water

Set the oven to 150 degrees Celsius, then prepare the glaze:

In a saucepan, heat the olive oil and add the onion and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until soft but not brown, and add the remaining ingredients. Let it simmer until it has thickened.

Prepare the ribs:

Brush on a layer of the glaze on both sides of the ribs, place them in a non-stick oven dish. Cover with aluminium foil, and then pop them in the oven for about three hours. Every 30 minutes, take the ribs out and brush on some more glaze. After 3 hours, take the ribs out and pop on the grill in the oven. Take off the aluminium foil and brush on the remaining glaze, and put the ribs back in the oven until the glaze caramelizes and looks bubbly and yummy.

Take the ribs out before the glaze burns, and serve! With a salad, some coleslaw or onion rings or even plain old boiled potatoes, these ribs will amaze you with whatever dish you choose to accompany them!
