Five Spice Short Ribs With Hoisin Barbecue Sauce Recipes

FIVE-SPICE SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut ribs in individual sections, each with one piece of bone.
• Combine wine, Worcestershire sauce, stock, soy sauce, tangerine peel, sugar, chili paste, five-spice powder, ginger and garlic in a heavy 4- to 5-quart ovenproof saucepan or casserole. Bring to simmer, add ribs and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Cover and place in oven. Cook 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until meat is fork-tender. Remove ribs to a platter, trying to keep a bone in each piece, and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Strain cooking liquid, and degrease. Return to saucepan, and boil down until reduced by half, to about 1 1/2 cups. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Over very low heat, whisk in butter bit by bit. Pour sauce over ribs, and serve.

STICKY HOISIN RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/gas 3.
• Sprinkle the ribs with the five-spice and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then rub all over. Arrange the ribs in a large roasting tray. Break apart the garlic bulb and scatter over the unpeeled cloves, then halve and add the oranges.
• Cover the tray tightly with tin foil, and roast in the middle of the oven for 3 hours, or until tender and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, for the salad, trim the spring onions, radishes and fennel, and deseed the chillies, then finely slice it all lengthways and place into a bowl of ice-cold water to make it super-crisp. Pick in the coriander leaves and put aside.
• Make a quick salad dressing by mixing the sesame oil, rice wine vinegar and soy together. Peel and finely grate in the ginger, then taste and season to perfection with black pepper.
• Remove the tray from the oven and move the ribs to a board. Carefully squeeze the sticky orange juice back into the tray. Squeeze the soft garlic flesh out of the skins and mash it up, scraping up all the sticky bits from the tray.
• Place the tray over a medium heat on the hob or over your barbecue, let it start to bubble, then pour in the hoisin sauce. Let it tick away for a few minutes, or until thick and shiny, then remove.
• Now, dunk each rack of ribs in the glaze, using your woody herbs as a brush to generously coat them all over, and transferring to the cool side of the barbecue as you go. Cook for another 10 minutes or so, covered with the air valve open.
• Meanwhile, cook the jasmine rice according to the packet instructions, then fluff up and divide between your plates. Drain and dry the salad veg, then toss with the dressing and plate up. Pile the sticky ribs on top, get stuck in, and get messy!

CHINESE BBQ RIBS WITH HOISIN SAUCE

Steps:

• Pre-soak the ribs with clean water for 30 minutes. During the process, the clean water turns slightly pink or red. Change the water once after the first 10 minutes. Then drain completely.
• Whisk all of the marinating sauce in a bowl. Pour the marinating sauce to the ribs. Set aside for at least 4 hours or overnight in fridge.
• Get a lined baking sheet, place only the ribs in. Wrap the ribs with foil paper. Pre-heat oven to 180 degree C.
• Place the baking sheet in the middle rack and roast for 40 minutes (depending how soft you want the ribs to be). Take the upper foil off and then brush the honey water. Rise the oven temperature to 200 degree C. Continue roasting for around 10 minutes until well colored.

• Remove ribs to a plate and set aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings, return pan to stove, and add garlic, ginger, and chile and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in reserved sherry mixture and bring to a simmer.
• Return ribs to pan and bring to a simmer. Cover and transfer to oven to cook, turning occasionally, until meat is knife tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Increase oven to 400 degrees F and cook, covered, until ribs are sticky, about 30 more minutes.
