How to Make Barbecued Spareribs at Home

[@Don-lq1sy]

Been watching for years and have used many of your recipes and tips. Everybody thinks I’m a great cook But little do they know I’m just following your directions. Thanks for all the great meals you guys have provided (with me cooking) over the years myself and my family have enjoyed many meals and made many many memories DJ

[@bronwynleonardi8245]

Every recipe is tested for the home cook and wholesomeness of the meal. Since I am the cook and people seem to like what I prepare, this recipe fills the bill. My Community Meeting just got another addition as well.

[@candiceford7319]

This recipe is a keeper for sure. It's not too hard to do, the video explains everything nicely, the ribs are really good. More, please.

[@emmuealhird5075]

I cooked these ribs according to this recipe and BOY!!! My family felt like we had ordered out! LOL!! We served wtih rice and brocolli pouring the glaze over everything eventually! LOL! I am keeping this recipe from now on to cook ribs a different way to supplement the southern style.

[@edwinsuarez3443]

[@scottcbarlow]

I did this and HOLY CRAP, they were really, really good. Thanks for doing this.

[@LucyVarvatos]

Oh that looks so good 😋

[@tomgates316]

Around here the full spare rib rack is about 1/2 the price per pound as the St Louis style cut ribs. Just more busy work for the butcher or grocery meat market folks. If you get a full spare rib rack, cut them down to the St Louis style yourself. Easy enough to do. Then we cut up the other meat into serving size pieces and toss them in the pot along with the cut ribs. You just get that much more of these to eat. And that's a good thing!!

[@Strommy777]

Love this recipe, only we make one small change. First time I made this I followed the recipe to a tee and when we ate them felt that the 5 spice was to overwhelming so instead of 2 teaspoons I only used one the second time I made this. That was absolutely delicious.

[@hecate235]

I'm the same. I can't taste anything else. Any recipe using five spice, I always cut it in half or less. Just too overpowering for me.

[@frankserrano114]

I've found that the remainder of the glaze MUST be put into a ramekin and made available to my housemates. They DEMAND sauce on their ribs. A glaze is not enough.

[@semco72057]

Those ribs are looking so delicious and I have cooked some on my grill, in the oven, and in my Instant Pot and those coming out of the Instant Pot was the best I cooked. In each case the ribs are finished up being broiled in the oven for about 10 minutes which was perfect. I have never eaten Chinese barbecued ribs before, but may try cooking them.

[@DietBajaBlast]

How many minutes did you pressure cook them for?

[@BluesChanteuse]

Yup. Just made these. This is the way to go. braising > glaze > brown

[@kdrich4611]

i just made these ribs last night in the Instant pot, 8 min and 15 natural release. I used your exact ingredients and they turned out great! Might have been overdone for the chew factor you were going for so you can back it off for that. Nonetheless, the flavors of these ribs were amazing!

These ribs are Chinese char siu style ribs... so delicious and tasty! I saw this on America's Test Kitchen in 2019 and I have made it several times. Family and friends have asked for the recipe and now I can just send them the link to this video! NO marinating for several hours, NO pre-oven cooking for several hours, NO turning over to baste. Thanks to Factotum for posting the recipe for others to use. I've always used dry sherry since I did not have Chinese rice wine.

If you cut the ribs from the bottom, you can see where to cut and leave equal amount of meat on each rib.

Cutting the ribs for "more surface area for the glaze"..... (which makes sense), but l would definitely take that membrane off, since it acts as kind of a barrier, keeping flavoring from penetrating the meat. Still, even with the membrane left on this looked great!

I don't feel entitled to get everything for free in life, so I think it's a very nice gesture from ATK to share the recipe at all. I'm glad they bother to do so on KZbin, because I can grab a piece of paper and a pen and write the recipe down for future reference. May I suggest you try doing that too? If you can be bothered to do that it'll take you as long as the duration of the video and it'll still be for free.

Has anyone tried in a slow cooker??

If you are interested, the brand name of the smoker/grill is king kooker( it is spelled kooker), cost is appx. $ 200.00

[@kookoo4mike]

I’ve made this and it tastes amazing BUT it’s way TOO much sauce which is quite wasteful! I use 5lbs of ribs and halve the recipe and it’s still saucy. The last step of broiling is unnecessary. Just cook for 50 mins and it’s perfect. It reduces down to coat ribs quite nicely. Also I highly recommend searing the ribs first to seal in the blood so it doesn’t make the sauce produce “dirty” foam. The sauce recipe is truly delicious and yummy sweet!

[@waitzandbleed]

[@BlackHillsMama]

[@HonkusPonkus]

Could you use some red wine instead of food coloring? Or chili oil?

[@Ron-iy2ez]

food coloring is to enhance the 'color'. If you add red wine or chili oil, you'd be changing the flavor of the ribs! But, it's just a recipe. No, doubt, you're free to amend it however you please

[@danielt6689]

Just leave it out. It will be as red, but it will taste the same.

[@frankthetank1369]

Red food coloring is for color. In the old days red velvet cake they used beet juice for the color. Minus the red food coloring if you want don't add red wine because you will change the flavor.

You can see the bones from that angle too. When I cut them perpendicular, the cut is uneven, one side may have exposed bone. When you lay them down flat you can better ensure there's meat evenly on both sides. At least that's been my experience.

What are country style pork ribs? They don't look like ribs at all, but they are typically cheap at my local grocer

[@SW990]

Hi Tony. My brother is a butcher and I've asked him this very thing in the past wanting a more specific answer. Country-style ribs are cut from the blade end of the pork loin, close to the pork shoulder. They are meatier than other rib cuts. They contain no actual "rib bones", but instead contain parts of the shoulder blade. They are thicker and have more fat than the spare or baby back rib. Country ribs are also regionally known as "western ribs". Hope this helps.

[@MrKirby365]

I'm sorry but anybody that doesn't take that membrane off is in a less then favorable position in my book, but I just won't use this recipe either... also in my personal opinion it isn't hard and it only takes seconds all you nee to do is get you knife under enough of the membrane for you to grip with a towel in your hand(the towel helps with extra grip) the just evenly pull until the membrane comes off in a single sheet.
