I’ve always loved spicy, sticky spare ribs 🙂
Loved them cooked in the combi oven, it seems to render down the fat and produce a melt-in-the mouth, tender rib.
This is a Chinese version but try different marinades of your choice. A smokey, American rub would also be amazing.
Ingredients:
2-4 slabs of pork spare ribs
½ cup soy sauce
¼ tsp Sesame oil
½ tsp chilli powder (optional)
½ tsp Chinese five spice powder
2 cloves garlic, crushed
¼ cup Mirin
1 tbsp green ginger, grated
Method:
1. Mix all marinade ingredients together and pour over ribs in a glass dish. Rub all over with the back of a spoon, cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.
2. Place ribs into the large, solid tray in a single layer and cook on Combination mode 180°C + 50% steam for approximately 35-45 minutes. The time will depend on the size of your ribs.
3. Turn occasionally and baste with the remaining marinade, they are ready when well browned but still juicy.
4. Serve with steamed rice here and some steamed Chinese vegetables. See my timing on steaming the vegetables
Just tried these last night. Did three free range ribs each with a soy, scallion/spring onion type sauce. Too I,patin5 o marinade overnight. Lovely with steamed Basmatic rice and veg.
