How to Make Asian Spareribs
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup light soy sauce, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons dry sherry or cooking wine, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter, 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup finely chopped white onion until well-blended.
- Divide marinade in half. (Alternatively, double the entire recipe for more brushing sauce.)
- Place 2-3 pounds of spare ribs in a large glass dish or resealable bag. Pour half the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes, basting with remaining marinade halfway through.
- **For Grilling:** Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill ribs for 10-15 minutes per side, brushing frequently with reserved marinade, until tender and caramelized.
- Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
