Pork Ribs (cooking and sauces - merged)

For years I've put my ribs (not literary!) in the slow cooker. Bung in loads, and pour an inch of boiling water over, and cook on low all day.

Take out carefully, meat is now sooooo tender. Place in roasting tin, and pour over a mixture of soya sauce, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, mustard powder. Bake in hot oven for about 20 mins, basting the meat with the juice a couple of times.

I vary the pour over mixture, crushed garlic, back pepper, orange juice, anything goes!

I marinade in star anise (say 3 whole), honey(quite a lot - depends how sweet you want the sauce), oyster sauce(about a third of a smallish bottle), chilli flakes(depends on how hot you want it), crushed garlic. The longer you can leave the better. 24 hours is good but a few hours okay.



The whole lot then goes into a shallow large square pyrex - you dont want ribs on top of each other though, medium heat (gas mark 5) for quite a while about an hour and a half

Serve with rice. Allow as many ribs per person as your budget allows.

All these recipes sounds lovely - must remember to buy ribs when i go shopping!!!!!!!!!!

My tip for cooking ribs - esp if grilling or cooking on the BBQ - is to boil them first. This cooks and softens the meat and removes a lot of the fat. Then marinade as usual and grill

My son loves sticky pork ribs when he goes to his grans. She gets them ready prepared with the sauce etc from the butcher.

I've been to Asda tonight and bought some ribs, but I've never cooked them before
And, could anyone tell me how to make a sticky marinade??

Oh, and only my son eats them and I've bought quite a large pack, so whats the best way to freeze them?
Uncooked?
Uncooked but marinaded? or
Fully cooked?

Any help on this one much appreciated

Try marinading them in Dr Pepper. It's really lovely.

DS and me love this -
2lb spare ribs
6 tbsp soy sauce
6 tbsp sugar
2 tsp ground ginger
1 onion peeled and quartered
3 tbsp wine.

Put all ingredients in a pan with 1 1/2 pints of water, bring to the boil, simmer for 45 minutes, turning the meat occasionally. Turn up the heat and boil for 20 mins (uncovered) to reduce the sauce, it will become thick and sticky!!!! Serve.

You can freeze them like this once they have cooled.
