Honey Glazed Spareribs

Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients:

1 side, about 2 pounds, pork spareribs

For the Marinade:
1/4 cup dry sherry or Chinese rice wine
2 Tbsps. soy sauce
2 Tbsps. fish sauce
2 Tbsps. Hoisin sauce
1 Tbsp. oyster sauce
1 Tbsp. ginger
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. five-spice powder
2 whole star anise

For the Honey Glaze:
3 Tbsps. Hoisin sauce
2 Tbsps. honey
2 tsps. sesame oil

Cooking:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking pan with foil; set aside.

2. Cut spareribs between the bones into individual pieces. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add ribs and cook for 5 minutes; pour into a colander and drain.

3. In a large bowl, combine marinade ingredients. Add ribs and stir to coat. Let stand for at least 1 hour; for a deeper flavor, cover and refrigerate overnight.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey glaze ingredients; set aside.

5. Lift ribs from marinade and place on a cake cooling rack and set on prepared baking pan; reserve marinade.

6. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn spareribs over, baste with reserved marinade and bake for 5 minutes. Brush with glaze and continue baking until ribs are tender, about an additional 5 minutes.
