Hoisin Baby Back Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the ribs the night before: Trim the membrane from the back of 2 racks (about 4 pounds) St. Louis pork ribs. Then make the rub: Whisk 1 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tablespoons chopped ginger, 5 chopped garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder; coat the ribs with the mixture and refrigerate overnight. Preheat a grill to medium-high on one side and place a drip pan under the cooler side. Set the ribs over the drip pan (use a rib rack, if you have one). Cover, making sure the vent holes are directly over the ribs; cook for 3 hours, or until the meat pulls back from the bones. To make the sauce, whisk 1/2 cup hoisin sauce, 2 to 3 tablespoons Asian chili sauce and 1 tablespoon water; brush onto the meat and cook over direct heat until glazed. Cut the racks into ribs and sprinkle with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.

Steps:

• 1. Cut rack of ribs into 2-segments pieces.
• 2. Place into a large stockpot with the sliced ginger, cover with water and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• 3. Remove the ribs from the pot into a roasting pan.
• 4. Combine the remaining ingredients.
• 5. Marinate ribs in the sauce for 4 to 5 hours, place in the refrigerator.
• 6. Broil or grill ribs, sprinkle white sesame seeds.
• 7. Makes 10 servings.

Steps:

• Cut meat between bones into individual ribs; season with kosher salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Whisk hoisin, honey, soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, and five-spice powder in cooker insert. Toss ribs in sauce to coat, then fit as many as possible in a single layer; set remaining ribs on top. Lock on lid, making sure steam release valve is in the proper sealed position. Select "Manual" and program for 12 minutes at high pressure.
• As soon as the time has elapsed, turn off cooker, "Quick Release" the steam, and unlock lid. The ribs should be tender enough to easily pierce with a sharp knife. Transfer ribs to a platter.
• Select "Sauté" and let cooking liquid simmer until reduced by about half, 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare a medium direct fire on a gas or charcoal grill (or preheat broiler). Brush ribs with sauce. Place ribs on grate directly over fire, meaty side down. Close lid and grill until browned and crisp in places, about 5 minutes (or transfer them to a baking sheet, meaty side up, and broil the same way).
• Return ribs to platter. Top with sea salt. Serve with remaining sauce alongside.
• Cooks' Note: For a fruitier spin on the sauce, substitute pineapple or orange juice for the honey and use a pinch of cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes instead of the five-spice powder.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread pork ribs on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
• Whisk hoisin sauce, sugar, soy sauce, white wine, tomato paste, garlic, chili-garlic sauce, and five-spice powder together in a bowl.
• Grease a slow cooker insert with cooking spray. Transfer pork ribs to the pot. Cover evenly with hoisin sauce mixture.
• Cook on Low, stirring halfway through, until pork ribs are tender, about 8 hours.

Steps:

• Cut racks into individual ribs. Place in a large pot and cover with water. Add slices of ginger. Boil gently 1 - 1.5 hours. Drain ribs discard ginger.
• Combine sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, grated ginger, garlic and sake. Marinate the cooked ribs in this mixture 4 - 5 hours in the refrigerator.
• Preheat broiler. Place ribs in roasting pan and broil 15 minutes, turning if necessary.
• Garnish with sprigs of cilantro.
