Barbecued Spare Ribs are a classic American barbecue meal made from pork. This version is cooked in the oven, not on a barbecue, and uses a barbecue sauce with a distinct Asian flavor, featuring soy sauce, rice vinegar, and garlic.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork spare ribs
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sake
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground white pepper
• 2 tablespoons pork stock
• Freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste
• (Optional) 2 teaspoons Cumin

Procedure

1. Place spare ribs in a large baking dish in one layer. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over spare ribs and coat on both sides. Marinate overnight, basting occasionally.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Place a large, shallow roasting pan on the oven bottom. Fill with 1/2 inch water. Place spare ribs on a roasting rack.
3. Roast ribs for 45 minutes.
4. Raise oven temperature to 450 °F, and roast for 15 more minutes.
5. Serve hot or cold.

Notes, tips, and variations

• Alternatively, bake at 375 °F for 20 mins then lower the temp to 325 °F for 1 hour; this renders most of the fat and produces very tender meat.
• To actually barbecue the ribs on a grill, get grill temperature to 225 degrees and cook for 5-6 hours.
