Answer 5

Baby Pork Ribs

Serves 12



2 racks baby-back ribs (about 1 1/4 pounds each), halved crosswise

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon freshly grated peeled ginger

2 teaspoons chile paste

3 tablespoons dark-brown sugar

1/4 cup molasses

1/2 cup hoisin sauce

1/2 cup dark soy sauce

1/2 cup red currant jelly

1. Place ribs in a large shallow baking dish; set aside.

2. Combine the garlic, ginger, chile paste, sugar, molasses, hoisin, soy, and jelly in a medium bowl. Pour mixture over ribs, stirring to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate, refrigerated, for at least 8 hours or up to overnight.

3. Preheat oven to 375°. Remove ribs from marinade, reserving marinade. Place ribs on a rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake, turning frequently and basting with reserved marinade, until the ribs are tender and well browned, about 45 minutes.

4. Transfer ribs to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before cutting into individual ribs.

Answer 6

I've done this before. No - I didn't boil the ribs. I simply basted them with barbecue sauce (I've heard of a lemon sauce which I've not tried..), salt & pepper, and a bit of garlic powder...Put them on the grill and cooked for, at least, half hour or more - They turn out great.
