Pork Ribs (cooking and sauces - merged)

Trumpeter

Does anyone have the recipe for the "dry" type Chinese spare ribs? The ones with the crispy coating rather than the barbeque sauce ones? Is it something that can be done from scratch or is there a mix that you can get from an oriental supermarket?

Cheers...

I make deep fried ribs with salt and pepper using this recipe - http://chinesefood.about.com/od/spareribs/r/spicyribs.htm I dont really know of any other dry/crispy ones other than the deep fried ones. Hope this helps? If these arent the right ones then im sure some one else will be along soon x

Thanks, I'll give that one a go. I'm sure that the local takeaway lists salt & pepper spare ribs as well as the ones that I'm after. Mind you, I think they just call them barbeque ribs so that when I search for them, I get the recipes for the sticky ones. Not that they're too bad. I just would like to make the others too.

I've got a reggae sauce i want to use on them but want to cook them in a slow cooker. should i just put them with a small amount of water in the slow cooker. then at dinner time cover them with the sauce and put them in the oven for a bit making sure they don't burn.

will that put enough flavour into them, or should i just cover them with the sauce and cook in the oven covered with foil then take off the foil once they are tender.

sorry if this is an obvious question, i am sure somebody will direct me the right way, thanks.

I would smother them in the sauce, lightly grease the slow cooker pot and bung em in. xxx

This is how I do it - ribs in the slow cooker all day on low with a little water. Then transfer them to a oven dish - coat in the sauce then blast in a hot oven for about 10-15 minutes. The meat literally falls off the bone. I did read somewhere that in the American South they boil ribs then add the marinade.

As already mentioned, put the ribs in slow cooker but add a peeled and quarter onion, bay leaf and some peppercorns, pour on boling water from kettle, switch on and leave for 5-8 hours. Take ribs out, put in ovenproof dish, pour over sauce and put in very hot oven for 30 mins, basting once or twice.

Hi,

I got some spare ribs (pork) when shopping at the weekend as they were on offer, but I have never actually done them before.

Any ideas or good recipes please? I also have Levi Root's BBQ&Jerk sauce that OH likes, could I do something with that? Seems a bit thick to me to marinate it just in that though...

Thank you

1 orange, juice of
1 pinch smoked paprika
1 dash Tabasco sauce (optional)
seasoning
