Chinese Spareribs

These are not the sweet, gooey, sticky ribs you get at cheap Chinese take out joints, instead they are drier and have a more complex and wonderful flavor.

Ingredients

Spareribs

• 3 pounds pork spareribs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper

Barbecue Sauce

• 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped ginger
• 2 tablespoons dry sherry
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons red bean paste

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 275 degrees F.
2. Sprinkle ribs evenly with salt and pepper in an ovenproof dish and bake for 1 1/2 hours.
3. Combine the sauce ingredients in a blender and mix for 15 or 20 seconds or until pureed. Add the sauce to the ribs coating them evenly. Turn the oven up to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
