CHINESE-STYLE BARBECUED RIBS

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, mince garlic and scallions. Add hoisin, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, rice wine or vodka, rice vinegar and five-spice powder. Process until well blended. Taste for sweetness; the mixture should be sweet like barbecue sauce, not candy. Adjust the taste with honey, soy sauce and vinegar.
• Set aside 1/3 cup marinade for basting. Transfer remaining marinade to a container or pan large enough to hold the ribs, or to large resealable plastic bags. Add ribs and turn until well coated. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, and up to 2 days, turning occasionally in the marinade.
• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Set up a rimmed baking sheet (or two) with an oven-safe wire rack that fits inside, the kind you'd use for cooling cookies. Line the bottoms of the pans with foil or nonstick baking mats. Place the racks inside the pans and place the empty pans on the bottom rack of the oven. Pour in hot water until it comes about halfway up the sides of the pan. (Do not skip the water: The steam helps cook the meat to the right tenderness.)
• When the oven is hot, remove the ribs from the marinade and place on the racks, meaty side up. Bake without basting, 1 hour for baby back ribs, 2 hours for St. Louis style ribs. Check the water level occasionally to make sure it hasn't cooked off.
• Remove ribs from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Pour off any water from the baking sheet and return the ribs to the racks. (Alternatively, you can finish the ribs on a medium-hot grill; see below.)
• Return ribs to the oven and roast (or grill), basting 2 or 3 times with reserved marinade, for 20 to 30 minutes (less time for baby backs, more for spareribs). Watch the ribs carefully to make sure that the edges don't burn, and don't baste them too close to the end; they should be dry and sticky, not wet on the surface.
• Use a big knife to cut between the bones, making sure that each rib has meat on both sides. Mound on a platter, sprinkle with scallions and cilantro, and serve immediately.

BARBECUED RIBS

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, and saute the onions and garlic for 5 to 7 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the chili powder, ground cumin and red pepper flakes and continue cooking for 1 minute. Add the zest and ginger and cook for an additional minute. Add the vinegar, tomato paste, honey, mustard, soy sauce and orange juice and simmer uncovered on low heat for 15 minutes, until thick.
• Marinate the ribs in 2/3 of the barbecue sauce for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Prepare a grill with a single layer of hot coals and then add a few more coals 5 minutes before cooking, which will keep the fire going longer. Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes, turning once or twice to cook evenly on both sides. Brush with the marinade as needed.
• Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.

AUNT ANN'S BEST OVEN ROASTED RIBS

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position, and preheat oven to 250.
• Mix sugar, paprika, pepper, garlic powder and salt in a small bowl.
• If using liquid smoke, mix mustard and liquid smoke in a small bowl.
• Brush both sides of each slab with mustard, then sprinkle both sides with the dry rub.
• If using just mustard, brush directly on each slab, then sprinkle both sides with the dry rub.
• ***Line a lg. jelly roll pan or other shallow roasting pan with a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Place the pan on the oven floor (if oven is gas), or bottom oven rack (if oven is electric), making sure the foil covers the entire oven level.
• Roast ribs until fork-tender- 2-3 hours for spare ribs, and 1 1/2-2 hours for baby-back ribs.
• Remove foil-lined pan from oven, and pour off fat. Transfer ribs to foil-lined pan, meat side down. Turn on broiler. Brush ribs with 1/2 the Ah-So Chinese Style Sauce.
• Put pan under broiler until glaze bubbles vigorously. Remove pan, turn the ribs, brush with the remaining sauce, and return to the.
• broiler until glaze bubbles vigorously. Be careful, because they can burn.
• Let stand 5-10 minutes.
• Cut into individual servings, and serve.
• ***Note: My Aunt Ann makes these directly on the racks in her self-cleaning oven, and just put aluminum foil on the bottom rack to catch everything. Once the ribs are made she just soaks the racks to clean, and turns on the automatic cleaning system for her oven.
