Chinese Barbecued Spareribs
Chinese Barbecued Spareribs, also known as Char Siu, is a delicious and popular dish in Chinese cuisine. They are typically marinated in a sweet and savory sauce, then grilled or roasted to perfection. The marinade usually includes ingredients like soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, garlic, and Chinese five-spice powder, giving the spareribs a rich and flavorful taste. The result is tender, juicy, and slightly caramelized spareribs with a beautiful glaze. I
Ingredients
- 2 pounds spareribs
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- green onions chopped for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, Chinese five-spice powder, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Place the spareribs in a large ziplock bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the spareribs, ensuring they are well coated. Close the bag or cover the dish and let the spareribs marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
- Once marinated, remove the spareribs from the bag or dish and discard any excess marinade.
- If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using an oven, place the spareribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Grill or roast the spareribs for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and nicely charred. You can brush them with additional marinade during the cooking process for extra flavor.
- Once cooked, remove the spareribs from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and juicy meat.
- Optionally, garnish the Chinese Barbecued Spareribs with chopped green onions for added freshness and presentation.
