These Chinese spareribs are tender, juicy, and tangy. I created this recipe after nothing caught my eye while searching for a good sparerib recipe. I cooked this in the broiler in Japan, but it should be fine on the grill or in the oven.
Ingredients
- hoisin sauce: 3 Tbsp
- ketchup: 1 Tbsp
- honey: 1 Tbsp
- soy sauce: 1 Tbsp
- sake: 1 Tbsp
- rice vinegar: 1 tsp
- lemon juice: 1 tsp
- ginger: 1 tsp (fresh; grated)
- garlic: 0.5 tsp (fresh; grated)

Stages of cooking
-
Mix together hoisin sauce, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, sake, rice vinegar, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, and five-spice powder in a shallow glass dish. Place ribs in the dish and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours or up to overnight.
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Fill a broiler tray with enough water to cover the bottom. Place the grate or a rack over the tray; arrange ribs on the grate.
-
Cook in the preheated oven on the center rack for 40 minutes, turning and brushing with marinade every 10 minutes. Let marinade cook on for final 10 minutes to make a glaze. Finish under the broiler if desired. Discard any remaining marinade.
