Canton Style Spareribs Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare ribs by removing the membrane.
• Combine all the marinade ingredients in a sauce pan and warm slightly so sugar dissolves and corn starch incorporates.
• Pour over ribs and marinade in refrigerator for 3-4 days. Turn ribs occasionally to ensure even marinating.
• Remove ribs and bring to room temperature. Reserve the marinade.
• Heat grill/smoker to 200-225 degrees F.
• Cook ribs on grill using indirect heat method. Use apple, cherry, pecan, or mesquite wood for smoke. Cooking time should be around 1.5 - 2 hours. Turn and brush with marinade occasionally. Ribs are done when bones pull free from meat when twisted.
• Combine ingredients for glaze.
• Remove ribs and brush with glaze. Let stand for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds just before serving.

Steps:

• Place ribs in a large shallow pan. Mix together remaining ingredients and pour over.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
• Prepare a medium-hot grill.
• Grill until crusty outside, and tender and juicy inside, up to 1 hour.

Steps:

• Cut ribs into serving pieces.
• Parboil the ribs in water to cover for at least 30 minutes. (This helps to get rid of some of the fat and also helps to make the ribs tender.) Drain and let cool somewhat.
• Mix the remaining ingredients together. Put ribs in a marinade pan or large zip-loc freezer bag and pour marinade over ribs. Refrigerate. Turn ribs occasionally and continue to marinate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Grill until heated through and nicely browned or bake in 350 degree oven until browned and tender. Brush with marinade while cooking if desired.
• Serve on platter with pineapple slices and mandarin orange segments.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together.
• Add ribs and marinate 24 hours.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes (check for doneness).
• Serve with white rice.

Steps:

• Cut spareribs into 1 1/2-inch pieces. In a large sauce pot, combine spareribs, garlic, ginger and salt. Add water to cover spareribs; bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until spareribs are tender. Drain.
• Combine remaining ingredients and marinate spareribs in sauce overnight in the refrigerator.
• Place spareribs on rack of broiler pan and broil 3 inches from heat for 7 to 10 minutes, basting with remaining sauce. Turn and broil for 5 to 7 more minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• In a fry pan brown the ribs in a little oil.
• Add the onions to the pan to lightly brown as well.
• In a bowl, combine remaining ingredients.
• Drain the ribs and place in a baking pan or dish.
• Pour the liquids on top of ribs and cover with foil.
• Bake for 1-1.5 hours until done.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Place spare ribs in a large bowl or gallon size zip-lock bag.
• Add olive oil and zesty Italian dressing packets.
• Mix well. Refrigerate and marinade for at least 1 hour. (You can leave it in the marinade over night if you want).
• Microwave on high for 10-15 minutes, or until ribs are brown, but not cooked through. I microwave them in the bag but you can put them in a microwave safe dish if you prefer. (I use a freezer bag which is thicker and holds up to the heat. I open the seal to vent and place it in a bowl or on a plate - just in case - but have never had a problem).
• While ribs are in microwave, combine the remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until well dissolved and heated through.
• Remove ribs from bag and place in a deep 9 x 13 pan that has been prepared with non-stick cooking spray.
• Pour sauce over ribs, covering evenly.
• Bake for 1 hour, until ribs are cooked through.
• Baste occasionally, if desired.
• NOTE:***These can also be cooked on the grill with delicious results, just baste them frequently and watch them carefully so they do not burn.
