Hunan Spicy Ribs Recipe 425

Steps:

• 1. Fill your stockpot with water. Add the stock ingredients together and bring to a boil. Once stock is boiling, turn down the flame to low and add the ribs. 2. Simmer the ribs for 1 - 2 hours, switch off the pot and leave for 30 mins. 3. Transfer ribs to a dish and cool in the fridge. (I left mine in fridge overnight) 4. Remove ribs from the fridge 30 minutes to an hour prior to cooking. 5. In a bowl, mix the wine, salt, soy sauces, flour and one tablespoon water. Add cooled ribs to marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes. 6. In a wok, heat peanut oil. Add ribs and stir gently for two to three minutes, then remove from oil with tongs and drain ribs well. 7. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of oil from the wok. 8. Now is where the magic begins, Over a high flame, add the ginger, garlic, fresh chilies, chili flakes and cumin seeds to the work and stir-fry briefly, until spices are fragrant. (DO NOT cook too long or spices will taste burnt!). 9. Return ribs to the wok and stir well, season with salt to taste.

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, white wine vinegar, sesame oil, honey, five-spice powder, garlic, and ginger in a large storage bag. Shake to mix well. Add ribs to marinade; refrigerate 4 to 8 hours, turning bag occasionally.
• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove ribs from marinade and place in a roasting pan; cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Cook ribs for one hour, turning occasionally. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Remove foil from pan and bake an additional 20 minutes, turning once, until ribs are nicely browned.

Steps:

• A few hours before beginning the slow cooking of the ribs, make the rub by combining garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, mustard, and salt in a bowl and mixing well. Rub the mix into the meat and let sit for at least an hour. The mixture will begin to cure the meat.
• About 30 minutes before beginning to barbecue, heat the grill.
• Wrap ribs in heavy duty aluminum foil and place on the grill over indirect heat and slowly cook for about 2 hours, turning occasionally.
• While the ribs are cooking, begin the sauce on the stovetop. Combine apple juice, tomato juice, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and barbecue sauce in a saucepan, stirring to mix well. Simmer over low heat until it beings to thicken. Let simmer for 1/2 hour. Reserve about 1 cup to serve on the side with the ribs, and use the rest to brush on the ribs as they barbecue.
• When the meat begins to become fork tender, unwrap ribs and begin brushing on the sauce. Continue to apply the sauce to the ribs during the barbeque process. When ribs are able to pull apart, they are ready.

Steps:

• To make the rub, combine all rub ingredients in a small bowl, and stir to combine evenly. Rub this mixture evenly all over the ribs using slight pressure of the hand to tear the micro fibers of the meat. Place the rubbed ribs in a large re-sealable bag and place in the refrigerator to marinate overnight.
• The next day prepare the sauce by combining the Hoisin sauce in a medium bowl; add the grated ginger, garlic, orange juice, sherry and sesame seeds.
• Strain the wood chips. Place 1 cup of dry wood chips on a large sheet of aluminum foil; mix in 2 cups of the wet until evenly distributed. Close the foil up loosely and make a sealed pouch. Pierce the pouch in several spots top and bottom. Repeat to make 3 pouches in total.
• Remove the ribs from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature. Prepare barbecue by removing grates, placing a drip pan on one side of grill and place a smoke pouch on the other side. Replace the grates over the drip pan only.
• Preheat the grill for indirect cooling by leaving the 2 burners off under the drip pan and putting the heat on under the smoke pouch. Allow to heat to a temperature of 220F heat. Once smoke begins to form, lift the lid and place the ribs on the grill over the drip pan where there is no heat. Close lid and smoke for 2 1/2 hours, changing the smoke pouch when the smoke dissipates.
• After 2 1/2 hours, baste the ribs with the sauce. Close lid and continue to cook for 1 hour basting every 30 minutes. Ribs will be done when you can pull them from the bone with ease.
• Remove ribs from grill; loosely tent with foil and let rest for 20 minutes before cutting and serving. Serve with leftover Hunan sauce.
