How to Make Bbq Pork Spareribs

  1. Blanch ribs in boiling water for 2 minutes. Remove and pat dry.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together: 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons water, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 cup diced onion.
  3. Place ribs in a lightly oiled baking tray. Pour sauce mixture over ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated. (The tray prevents spills on your BBQ and allows for sauce reservation.)
  4. Cook ribs over low heat (around 250°F/120°C) with the BBQ hood closed for 20 minutes.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons of dry sherry to the ribs and season generously with black pepper. Stir gently to combine and turn the ribs over.
  6. Continue cooking over low heat with the hood down for another 40 minutes, stirring and turning ribs every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  7. Turn your BBQ grill to high heat (around 400°F/200°C). Transfer the ribs to the grill grate.
  8. Grill for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until the ribs are crisp and beautifully browned. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  9. While ribs are grilling, prepare the finishing sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup chicken stock and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth.
  10. Add the chicken stock mixture to the reserved sauce in the baking tray. Increase heat to medium-high and stir constantly until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
  11. Serve the BBQ pork spareribs over steamed rice, generously drizzled with the thickened sauce.
