We enjoyed Chinese-style ribs while watching the Super Bowl. These were based on a recipe in the Chinese Takeout Cookbook with several changes. Total time was about 1-1/2 hours.
4 lbs. spareribs, cut into individual pieces
1-1/2 cups brown sugar
5 cloves garlic, chopped
3-1/2 tsp. light soy sauce (I used Kikkoman)
1 Tbs. oyster sauce
1-1/2 Tbs. dried mustard powder
1 Tbs. fish sauce
2 Tbs. SriRacha sauce
Put the ribs in a large pot with enough water to barely cover them. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes until tender.
Drain the ribs, reserving the broth.
Add the remaining ingredients and 1-1/2 cups of the pork broth to the po to make a sauce. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Dip the ribs in the sauce and then put them on a cookie sheet to take them to a barbeque grill. Grill the ribs until browned on all sides. Return the ribs to the pot with the sauce and cook together until the liquid is reduced to a thick sauce, about half an hour.
